Is that considered reliable by the mainstream kashrus agencies?
Rabbi Tendler from Star-K audited them. Probably best to ask directly.

Do any kosher restaurants deliver to BOS, either via Uber Eats or otherwise?

I imagine this is a stretch, but does anyone know if there are any kosher gluten free dining options in the Boston area?

In case this info might be helpful to others, it turns out this wasn't a stretch at all. Pure Cold Press has tons of gluten free options and was delicious!

Looking at an 8 hour layover (including getting through immigration). Is there a reasonable way of doing some sightseeing and getting a kosher lunch, with enough time to get back to the airport 90 mins before a 7pm flight?

just touristy nonsense downtown/ back Bay, Charlestown etc.... you could take the water taxi around inner harbor. It leaves from the airport right next to the shell station/ car rentals

If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Guess you aren't a kosher Bostonian....

Would be interesting to hear from the group if there has ever has been an "upscale, waiter serviced restaurant" - I could only think of Cafe Shiraz...

Veggie crust? Incredible food but very casual.

I just remember that they had real glasses (that I had to keep my kids from breaking) and they brought the food to the table.
