Really? I would assume a dairy restaurant would do well on a Thursday

Not really, at least not in 5 towns. Ive seen Central Perk and Coffee Bar empty at night plenty of times. Its about Brunch and lunch

I heard they only took down the TV's to appease the VAAD. Does not seem like its closing down. Have you heard differently?
heard they are closing and will reopen after pesach as a high end restaurant.

In this neighborhood that just means charge more for the same food

Its decent, nothing special. I think its a bit pricey for a place that does not have elite food

On a related note, Promenade Bar and Grill in the city which used to be kosher, is no longer kosher as of last week.

Yeah but people were saying they were closed for renovations (which is what restaurants do when they are thinking about closing)

Could be although they are trying to re brand themselves as a higher end place. The best example is sushi metsuyan which ended up closing in 5t

The GOAT reopened with a new menu (seems about the same as the old one) and No TV's.

With that being said, the new competition from "STREATS" https://yeahthatskosher.com/2018/04/breaking-kosher-gourmet-street-food-restaurant-coming-to-5towns-streats/

I don't see them lasting.....sad.

Has anybody noticed any changes in KolSave since Pesach? Are they keeping the prices low, or notching it up?

Was there Friday. American cheese was 15.99. It used to be 10 something.

I noticed the Welch's grape juice shot up, but wasn't sure about the rest of store. Eggs also used to be cheaper. Both Milk and eggs were cheaper at Frankels this week.

The Vaad is blasting all over the web how they are so proud of their new camera policy.

Rumor has it that this is in response to a horrible violation which occurred locally over Pesach. Did anybody else hear and verify that a local eatery was caught serving chometz on Pesach?
