*"I'm not Jewish, but I love exploring New York through food and culture. I had no idea there were so many Jewish food tours, events, and experiences. This gave me a completely different perspective on the city, and I can't wait to start working my way through the list."

Jonathan, 42

"The bakery section brought back so many memories. I ended up visiting two places I hadn't been to in years, and the rugelach was exactly as I remembered from my grandparents' house. Such a thoughtful collection."

Sarah, 26

"I've lived in New York for a few years and am still discovering places I'd never heard of. I love that everything is curated instead of being an overwhelming directory. It feels like getting recommendations from a friend who really knows the city."
A MUST TO VISIT
THE LAST KOSHER BAKERY ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE 

(C) @kosher.hopping on Instagram

There’s a 96-year-old Holocaust Survivor working behind the counter at the last kosher bakery on the Lower East Side, and if you haven’t already met her, Mrs. Schreiber is one of the most amazing women to meet. She’s been working at this bakery for 60 YEARS! 

 

The Lower East Side used to be filled with kosher bakeries, “there used to be 5 on one block,” Mrs. Schreiber told me. And today, Moishe’s is the only one left - which means they must be doing something right. You must try their famous rye bread that’s sliced in a machine from half a decade ago, or their seven-layer cake, babka, or poppyseed cake! This is a real New York experience that you cannot skip out on!

Note:To the best of my ability, I’ve checked that the places and businesses featured here are current, and I’ve personally visited many of them. But New York changes quickly. Businesses close, move, change hours and sometimes change how they take orders. Always check directly before making a special trip.
