Wanted to update you on this. The place (Nish Nush) IS kosher, but for some reason it doesn't say on their website. It shows up as kosher on Yelp or one of those types of sites, so I called and they said, yes, they are kosher. I have an Orthodox coworker with whom I have to go to the city occasionally for meetings, so I was looking for a place downtown where we could have lunch next time.
So far we went to a kosher pizza place in the lobby of a building on 59th street that she already knew about (really good, too) and a place on 57th near 6th called The Great American Health Bar for breakfast.

i am a Gentile; and i have witnessed how my older Jewish friends look at me. Give me Halal over Kosher any day.
People in the deli were probably like, "what's with this giant goyishe woman examining our Sukkah."
Oh, and only in America can a Christian woman walk down a street full of Chasidim and be stopped by a Sikh asking her if she's interested in having her horoscope charted. I laughed and said no, then went to the Yemenite Jewish kosher store to get lunch and got in line behind a Bengali Muslim woman.
I am not making any of this up. This is Brooklyn.
Great post!
I put some lights up and a Sukkah one year and yeah, ''That dude is nuts.''
Kinda went depressed for a few years, stopped saying Merry Christmas, and now I am like,'' Yeah, Merry Christmas.''
Just aren't a lot of folks into building sukkahs in Texas lol, might get cut.

Please, if you have an Orthodox co-worker, don't take him/her to Nish Nush. They might say they are kosher, but if you look at their hours, they are open on the Sabbath. A restaurant open on the sabbath will be hard pressed to find reputable certification that would make your co-worker comfortable.
The issues are complex -- unless you have the name of the supervising rabbi (absent on the menu and website so I assume they supervise themselves, another no-no) don't take an Orthodox Jew there.
The Great American Health Bar was, for a long time, not accepted by many in the Orthodox community. They changed their supervision, though, and are fine.

and then possibly contemplate Halal, from the un-hand-washers, those who seem to follow the Bible more closely than either of us do.
just sayin.
Rabbi Hecht and Chabad do fine work. I don't know what products you have in mind or how they relate to the laws of kosher supervision as it applies to restaurants open on the sabbath.
I'll pass on halal. I'm an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and am happy as one.

.
Don't rely on a business or a review "saying" they are kosher. Anyone can say anything. Ask over the phone who certified it as kosher and the date on the letter. When you are there ask to see the certification. Every single time you go in. Because It can change and a certification can be lost or withdrawn. Best bet is to ask someone in the area a local orthodox Jew of they trust eating there. If something is doubtful or if someone wants to take me out in a radius where there are no reliable kosher eateries, then we go to a grocery and I get kosher items and we find a nice table or bench to sit and eat.
but i'm sure they have cleaned that up now, too don't get me wrong there.

"kosher supervision as it applies to restaurants open on the sabbath" sounds like an oxymoron to me--as i bet it does to you, too--so, more worshipping of Mammon, and i bet they love Hecht, too. wadr.
