There is a similar program coming to the kosher restaurant database on Kosher Travel Info (http://www.koshertravelinfo.com).

It is already in place for the Kosher Travel Info Minyan database here:

Of course Kupel’s is kosher, Simon… what’s your source for this accusation?

Since when is Kupel’s not kosher? Last time I was there, they were under the KVH. When did that change?

And Kupel’s is actually not kosher either. Shomer shabbat? Yes. Pareve? Yes. But, not kosher supervised, so not kosher.

Uh…Zaftigs is treif. Very treif. They serve meat and dairy. And they don’t even claim to use kosher meat.

The map doesn’t load on my Mac, so I’ll have to try a PC or a Mac with a more recent OS. But what a great idea this is! I live in the Boston area and am always looking for kosher markets and restaurants. I bet the map shows a lot of places on Harvard Street in Brookline. The Butcherie, Zaftigs, Rubin’s, Kupel’s, and many others are in that area.

Actually, it is true, as a previous entry says, that many markets offer kosher food, so I doubt this map will encompass all of these places.

Can’t wait to see the map!

The data is coming from the Shamash.org database. If you want to add a listing, contact them.

It doesn’t have everything for the Boston area. For example, the Shaw’s on Rte 27 in Sharon (near 95) has a kosher bakery (Vaad), and the Stop & Shop near me in North Andover has some kosher meat & cheese, including a kosher slicer in the deli. I believe the Stop & Shop in Bedford also offers kosher deli, and many of Market Basket’s prepackaged bakery items are kosher.

Yeah, it seems like a hostile place for a deli.

Very Very Very cool.

Except for Long Island. Somehow it mapped one restaurant as being in the middle of the Persian Gulf! No clue what happenned!
