The Complete Kosher Travel Guide to New York
New York is the second-richest destination in our database, and it's not hard to see why - Crown Heights, Brooklyn is the world center of Chabad-Lubavitch, centered on "770" Eastern Parkway and the lively Kingston Avenue. But kosher New York doesn't stop there: dozens of kosher restaurants are spread across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
770 Eastern Parkway
The World Headquarters of Chabad-Lubavitch, and the nearby Chabad Israeli Tourist and Delegations Center - both rated 4.8 - are the central stop for any Jewish visitor to the city.

Shain Shul and Bais Eliezer Yitzchok, the two leading synagogues in the area (Nusach Ari, rated 4.9 and 4.7), sit right on Kingston Avenue itself. Crown Heights Mikvah and Mikvah Mei Chaya Mushka, both rated 4.9, serve the community a short walk away.

It doesn't stop at Crown Heights - Holy Schnitzel there (4.9) is an institution, but PitaBar on the Lower East Side (4.9, glatt kosher), Picnic by the Black Parrot on the Upper West Side (a perfect 5 stars!), Buba Bureka in Greenwich Village and Noi Due Carne (Italian meat) all show the kosher food scene stretches across Manhattan too. And Moshe's Falafel on the Upper West Side (4.8) is another Israeli-American classic.

Sights and attractions
The Ohel - the Rebbe's resting place in Queens - is a central pilgrimage site (rated 4.9). Beyond that, classic New York awaits: Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building. Tip: the Empire State Building has two observation decks (the 86th and 102nd floors) - it's most impressive to visit in the evening, once all of Manhattan's lights come on.
See all optionsPractical tip: there are two kosher grocery stores on the Upper East Side - ParkEast Kosher (4.6) and Ouri's Market - for anyone who prefers to cook. Whether the goal is a pilgrimage to the Ohel, a Shabbat in Crown Heights, or just eating well in the middle of Manhattan - New York offers it all, densely packed. Every address and detail is on the full New York destination page.
