It's been about 10 years but I think there's a nice quiet SSA office on Route 70.

I went in today. Office told me they stopped selling because Smith Brothers went out of business. Smith Bros. cough drops say goodbye after failed comeback bid

If anyone has seen them recently in Lakewood, I would really appreciate it.

Looking for alternative aside from Ricola. It seems that Fishermans Friend has the hechsher of Manchester Beis Din. Anyone know if that is limited to those produced in England? Or if anyone sells them here in the US?
Fisherman's friend are in the CRC list.  Look up which ones.  Available in cvs etc.

I disagree with the generalization. I do think we need a good deli. But take out where is better? Steak house Lakewood is fair. And let's not forget bagel nosh has I would say with pride the best donuts in the world

+1. And its the effect of everyone wanting the food to be cheap rather than to have fine nuances.

Takeout in queens and brooklyn I think are a lot better, and I don't consider donuts a meal. But you are right that on the dairy end there a lot of good options.
