Challah! NYC’s Oldest Kosher Dairy Restaurant Re-Opens
Taking take-out and delivery orders by DoorDash and phone.
May 28, 2020 (New York, NY) – B&H Dairy Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant, established in 1938, and one of the oldest kosher dairy lunch counters in Manhattan, has re-opened for take-out and delivery service.
The tiny 24-seat restaurant is famous for vegetarian Eastern European classics like matzo ball soup, borscht, pierogi, knish, stuffed cabbage and latkes, as well as the friendly atmosphere and “CHALLAH! por favor” T-shirts. Think “Cheers,” with Jewish food.
The hands down, not-to-be-missed superstar is their tuna melt, and now whitefish melt, on house-baked challah, about which Taste Senior Editor Anna Hezel raved, “There were two sweet, rich, butter-toasted slices of B&H’s house-baked challah sandwiching a slice of melted cheddar and a layer of their flaky, smoky whitefish salad,” and fellow food writer Max Falkowitz stated, “It reminded me of something you’d get in some high-end hipster sandwich shop that’d make you hate everyone, except here it was abundant and joyful and perfect.”
B&H Dairy is taking orders via the DoorDash delivery service and by phone at 212-505-8065.10AM-8PM. Check the B&H Instagram and Facebook page for links to the menu and daily specials @bandhdairy. Donate to the ongoing B&H Dairy GoFundMe campaign here.
