About

This narrow, mostly counter-seating kosher diner has served Eastern European comfort food since 1938, including borscht, knishes, and stuffed cabbage. Vegan diners can ask staff about the soups, chili, knishes, and stuffed cabbage; the menu also includes dairy, eggs, and fish, so check which dishes are vegan.
