Kosher Luncheonette - downtown NY

[mggn]

Just posted on www.kosher-ny.com : Kosher Luncheonette opened at 56 Fulton St in Financial district.
Anyone been there yet?

I try to go there once per week. His falafel and soup are top notch. Soup and a kasha knish is perfect on a cold rainy day. Owner is very friendly. If you don't see what you like ask for it. I'ts nice to have a good kosher place to pick up a quick lunch. If you don't eat there you can't complain there is no place to get kosher food downdown.

His falafel is excellent, fresh and enjoyable. His borekas are quite tasty as well. The owner aims to please.

The majority of their 'menu' is microwaved knishes. I went the other day to see what it was and wasn't in the mood for a soggy knish. So I asked for an egg and cheese on a roll but was curtly told that's only breakfast and breakfast hours were over. Great, Circa downtown is gone and this place isn't worth going to.

Is there any place in the FD like Diamond Dairy in the Diamond District?

You mean dairy? Check Broadway Cafe (affectionately known as the "Dungeon" in earlier discussions). Its on B'way just south of John Street, below McDonalds.

I had in mind a meat or dairy luncheonette. A place that serves the old Askhkenaz soups, sandwiches and specialties. Something other than pizza and falafel.

Essex on Coney at 17 Trinity Place across the street from Syms.

I agree the restaurant name is misleading, not to mention unimaginative. Nevertheless, I have eaten food from there several times and not had a bad experience yet. The falafel is fresh and tasty, and several in my office agreed it's much better than Pita express. The pizza knish and tomato-rice soup are also very good. Prices are also quite reasonable.

I just stopped over there. Very Disappointing. If it is called a luncheonette, at a minimum it should have a counter or some tables to eat at. It turns out that this just a take-out window.
