Boston has new kosher restaurant – I went
We went to Boston’s new kosher restaurant on Sunday. I knew it was somewhere in Newton but that was about it, so I called. “Where are you?” “Oak Street.” “Where is that?” “……” “I am on Route 9, where do I go?” “Oak Street.” “Great. Is that off Route 9?” “……” “Are there any landmarks, like a gas station or something?” “Yes, gas station.” “What is the name of the gas station?” “……” “Hmmmm, so when I see the gas station, that is Oak Street?” “No.” “No?” “First you make left on eiyiya.” “Eiyiya?” “Yes.” “How do you spell that?” “Umm… E.” “E?” “Yes.” “So I make a left on Eiyiya, at the gas station and then what?” “You drive until you see stopsign.” “Stopsign?” “Yes and you make a left at stopsign and you will see us ok?” “Ok, thank you.”
Somehow we made it. “Eiyiya” was Elliot, the “E” was a big help, and yes, there was a gas station there too. I found the stop sign and all worked out for the best. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely and best of all – there is a tanning salon just across the street. It is called “Incredible Tan” and one of my kids now really wants an incredible tan. We were able to talk him out of it for now, but I am afraid he may sneak out one day when we are eating lunch and come back orange.

Tzvi you should have mentioned that Chinese was the mother tongue of the one giving directions……it was still really funny though. Especially because of our son’s need to get an incredible tan!!! I can’t say that I love Chinese food though…why can’t we have Kosher Indian? Thai? Why always chinese? Anyway…it was a great article.

Always good to hear that you’re keeping up on Boston’s food scene. Please tell Ruth to come to NY for a myriad of kosher Indian restaurants!

Ruth, I make several mean kosher Thai dishes, and as Tzvi can testify to (Tzvi please let me know if indeed you can testify the following statement) my in-law’s restaurant makes Cuban, Mexican, and countless other fake-meat master pieces. Do you really need any more incentive to come visit Miami Beach?

Adam….I need serious incentives……I love COLD weather! I really HATE humidity…..it goes beyond a functioning a/c…..I am unfortunately really awful in hot weather. I melt…..but I could visit and eat some food in the winter. I hear it is so nice in the winter.

Just so you know….Incredible Tan is an Incredible Place and if the kid sneaks out for a tan I can promise he won’t come back orange. Oh and btw, the restaurant is great and we are happy to have them as neighbors. We have sent customers to them….send them over for a tan!!!!!
