When Restaurants Die
The other night I stopped by my (and my family's) favorite kosher eatery for some take-out and found it closed. The posted sign read, "Closed for Filming." I found it odd, but figured they had rented out the joint for a restaurant scene on some cable show. Yesterday I ran into the owner at a lag b'omer street fair, and he told me he sold it and that the new owner was opening a different, non-kosher restaurant in its place.

This was quite a blow to my family. My kids even cried and demanded that the restaurant hold a goodbye party. Alas, it is not to be. Kosushi / Pasta Vino (yes, it's a hybrid sushi/italian restaurant) is no more.

True, there's a kosher Subway opening around the corner, but it's just not the same. - served up by Ralphie @ 2:17 PM
