Supporting Kosher Establishments: A Message from the Westchester Kosher WhatsApp


We are thrilled to see how much the kosher community in lower Westchester has grown. We now have three pizza places ( Prime Time, J-Joe and J Express) three meat restaurants ( Eden Wok, The North End Grill and Hudson Bistro) and two bakeries (White Plains Bake Shop and Scarsdale Pastry) with hopes of even more kosher establishments opening in the near future.


To ensure the continued growth of kosher options in our area, it’s crucial to support all of these businesses—both the pioneers who have been with us since the beginning and the new establishments that have recently joined our community. Together, we can help keep every one of them thriving.


Let’s continue to build a stronger, more vibrant kosher community in Westchester County.
