    I'd just wish for 1 location that's actually big enough. Next time Basil goes through issues, he should grab that location!

    Borenstein (don't know what his business is called) on Albany Avenue next to the shipping center. Not sure if he does retail or just wholesale.
    I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

    I haven't been to either. What I've heard:

    Phomen: like eating tradition soup in a restaurant.
    Allenbi: Very good reviews - interesting flavors, but small portions. Others scoff at the small portion complaint saying that Jews always complain about that.

    Went to phomen tonight

     I thought it was great.  I would be very pleased if tradition soup would taste that good

    I believe Dr Rita Sachs, a PA in Dr Rosen's Kingston Avenue office, specializes in dermatology.
