ENTHUSIASTIC GOURMET is proud to be
NY NOSH FOOD TOUR
From the 1890’s to the 1940’s, the Jewish Lower East Side was teeming with nearly a half million Eastern European Jews. Streets were packed with pushcarts and people. Although living and working conditions were difficult, the Jewish immigrants were able to practice their religion openly. There was a strong sense of family and community, which can still be seen today. Many of the shops we visit have been in the neighborhood for over 70 years and are owned by the original families. You will learn about Kosher food, and what makes these items Kosher.
Below are the stores we visit and foods* we try: Knishery, dating to 1910—Knish G,D Appetizing store, dating to 1914—Smoked and/or Pickled Fish D Delicatessen, dating to 1888 Old-fashioned Candy store—Halvah N Matzoh factory, dating to 1925—Matzoh G Bread bakery, dating to 1935—Bialy and NYC bagel G Pickle shop—pickle tasting (3 types) Pastry shop—Rugelach G
