A new epic picnic-styled food event highlighting Jewish food mashups is happening later this summer. The Great Nosh will take place on Sunday, June 22 out on Governors Island.
The event features collaborations between New York restaurants who will make special dishes. This includes matchups like Thai Diner and Katz’s Deli (Thai with classic New York Jewish deli), Atoboy and Apollo Bagels (Korean with bagels), Gertrude and Dhamaka (Jewish-ish with Indian), and Tatiana and Dickson’s (Caribbean with a butcher shop). Elsewhere, Williamsburg restaurant the Four Horseman is running a wine bar; celebrity chefs Gail Simmons and Pati Jinich are running what is being called the Grandmas Tent. Then there’s a marketplace, arm wrestling, music, and art. While the tickets were previously sold out, the organization is releasing more today — it’s $39.89 for adults and $20.74 for children between the ages of six and 12. The event is run by nonprofit the Jewish Food Society.
Restaurant Row in the spotlight
Hell’s Kitchen’s Restaurant Row is going to get its signs across West 46th Street across Eighth and Ninth avenues. “We’d love to reimagine Restaurant Row and give it a distinctive identity,” said Times Square Alliance president Tom Harris. “If other neighborhoods have signs, why not us?” Restaurant Row has been in existence since at least 1973, with 16 restaurants on the stretch when it started. Today, over 30 reside on the stretch.
