Lakewood, New Jersey Residents are petitioning KRM (a.k.a. Kollel Grocery) from Borough Park, Brooklyn to open a branch in Lakewood

On June 23, 2015, a group calling itself Lakewood Residents started an online petition to get the famous KRM Supermarket from Borough Park in Brooklyn, NY to open a similar supermarket in Lakewood. They claim that they need a reasonable supermarket to sell kosher food products at discounted prices and I agree too. Lots of fancy kosher supermarkets opened in the past ten years in every Frum, Jewish neighborhood. These include Brooklyn area kosher super stores like Pomegranate in Flatbush, The Chestnut in Williamsburg, Gourmet Glatt Market in Boro Park, Rockland Kosher Supermarket and lately Evergreen Kosher Market in Monsey (Rockland County), New York. I’m not here to bash these fancy kosher supermarkets. There is a need for them. Today’s Frum Balei Bustas (Jewish Home Makers) are demanding fancier stores and better shopping experience than what their parents did. We also have a lot more working professional women who need the conveience of more prepared food and pre-cooke…

Sushi Metsuyan Kosher In Monsey, NY Has Closed

Sushi Metsuyan Kosher in Monsey (technically in Airmont), New York (Rockland County) has closed. It was a favorite restaurant of mine and I will miss it for sure. What I loved about Sushi Metsuyan Monsey was that it was like a hybrid of an upscale kosher restaurant but not outrageously priced. It was also located a bit out of the “Main Street” area down south on Saddle River Road so the place was never jammed packed. The food was always delicious, the menu simple and not very complicated and the food was served in a reasonable amount of time. I really liked it and used to be a very frequent quest there. Either with my family or for business meetings. But the good new is that Chaim (Howard) Stimmel who was a partial owner and partner in the Monsey location of Sushi Metsuyan opened up a brand new kosher Steakhouse and Sushi restaurant on the very same location called The Ridge Steak & Sushi. I just spoke to Chaim and he hopes to post The Ridge Steak & Sushi soon…
