1. Espresso Café and Sushi Bar: Dairy restaurant run by the wonderful Sharon. Sharon always strives to make<br />
customers completely satisfied with their dining experience. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure to<br />
try the French-onion soup –it really is “souper” yummy! This restaurant is easily within walking distance if<br />
you live in the vicinity of Ahavas Torah and Rabbi Leizerowski’s shul, so why not take a walk with the kids and<br />
finish up with a cold milkshake (or a hot cappuccino for yourself)? Bonus point: the Espresso is a hop, skip<br />
and a jump away from the Jerusalem Gift Shop. Check out their new website at espressokosher.com!<br />
7814 Castor Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19152 215-745-0130<br />
2. Judah Mediterranean Grill: (meat) a casual (with great ambiance!) Middle Eastern cafe located in nearby<br />
Krewstown Shopping Center. I’ve heard yummy rumors about their shawarma; plus, they serve home-made<br />
desserts. (FYI: $40 minimum for credit/debit card). Under the hashgacha of Rabbi Moshe Haim Arbiv.<br />
9311 Krewstown Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19115 215-613-61<strong>10</strong><br />
3. Palace Royale: (meat) Located on Bustleton Avenue near the Z Brothers Service Center. Serving Russianinspired<br />
cuisine (in addition to other can’t-miss dishes!). If you’re lucky you’ll get there when the music is<br />
playing.<br />
9859 Bustleton Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19115 215-677-33<strong>23</strong><br />
4. Shalom Pizzeria*: (dairy) If you find yourself in Overbrook Park (about a 40-minute drive from the NE) stop<br />
in to this cute pizzeria. Be on the lookout for special discounts during the Nine–days and (!) for the days leading<br />
into Pesach. 215-878-1500. (The Best Cake Bakery is also nearby. Be sure to check out their “Chinese<br />
cookies”, the closest thing I can find to the “chocolate top cookies” I used to happily feast on in Baltimore).<br />
7598 Haverford Ave A, Philadelphia, PA 19151 215-878-1127<br />
5. Mama’s Vegetarian*: (vegetarian) Located in Center City Mama’s is a popular destination for hungry travelers<br />
to Center City. If falafel’s your thing, then “Mama’s” is in!<br />
<strong>18</strong> S 20th St, Philadelphia, PA 19<strong>10</strong>3 215-751-0477<br />
6. Estie’s Besty’s Vegetarian Restaurant* is a not-to-be-missed stop the next time you’re in Cherry Hill. Delicious<br />
pizza (did I mention that they deliver to the Northeast?!) and yummy straight-to-the-tummy baked<br />
goods. Estie’s Besty’s certainly lives up to its name! 2442 NJ-38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002 856-755-1116<br />
7. The Cherry Grill*: (meat) Loved, loved, LOVED this place when we ate there. Their perfectly grilled hamburger<br />
really hit the spot for this (then) nine-month pregnant mama’s appetite! But you could easily choose a<br />
more “sophisticated” main-course for your dinner — plus, they have Chinese food, too. FYI: Leave room for<br />
the chocolate lava cake! 1301 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 856-546-0088 www.cherrygrill.com<br />
8. Check out Citron & Rose Tavern & Market, the Dairy Café, and Star of David in Bala Cynwyd and Narberth<br />
(But be sure to check availability!)<br />
