Shalom!

I am a tour planner for an educational tour operator out of California. One of my client schools is a Jewish day school from California. They just informed me that their Head has decided to cancel their Washington DC trip in favor of Boston. Naturally they require kosher food. We’ll be visiting much of Boston, Salem, Plymoutn on down to Newport Rhode Island. I need to find places that can accomodate a group of 50 and give them sit down dinners, some lunches, and provide sandwiches. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Anne Marie

Kenny,
We are not giving up the wonderful name of Gordon and Alperin. The market will be Centre Market, but we will proudly be hanging the Gordon and Alperin store front’s sign above the meat department. (Also, there will be a banner on the outside because we expect the front of the building to be renovated within the year…new signs…)
We are looking forward to seeing you at the marathon, how about some ribs on matzah !

Be well,

Susan

Mazel Tov Ricardo and family,
I have been watching the Boston Marathon at my grandfather’s (Sam Alperin) store, Gordon & Alperin, since I was born. We still gather there every April, as a family. Although my grandfather sold it in the ’70’s, he worked there until age 87; the name has always stayed, even though there were different owners. It will be strange not to see that landmark and name but all good things must come to an end and we were fortunate enough to see it there all these years. For the record, if anyone is wondering and remembers my grandfather, he purchased the store in 1955 with Mr. Gordon. My grandfather died at the age of 95 in 1998. Thanks Ricardo for keeping the name alive as long as you did! See you at the Mararthon.

1. Taam China 2 should open this week with a Chinese and a steak menu.
2. Newton Centre- Butcher at Gordon and Alperin is adding a Kosher Deli and a market to the strip with the bakery he owns with his wife and then will move the butcher shop.
3. Ate at Shalom Beijiong a few times. Menu was much better- food better. However last meal was not satisfying.

Message to Lily Davis:

Thanks for your update. My wife and I are Gordon and Alperin customers and generally like most everything we have purchased there. Plus, Ricardo is a real gentleman and very nice.

However, we (and most of our kosher-keeping friends) find the prices very high. Wanted to let Ricardo know and hope he/you might respond.

Thank you.

Hello. My name is Lily Davis, I am the daughter of Susan and Ricardo Bosich. Here’s what is actually going on:

Ricardo (Gordon & Alperin) is moving over to Handler Brother (which we are turning into a Glatt kosher market). Proviser/Bobby’s will be turned into a Glatt Kosher Deli.

Now, for my personal faveorite, the Gordon & Alperin spot across the street will become
a vegetarian cholov Yisroel Pizza Shop (also serving fish and chips, sandwhiches, pannini,
and saleds etc, etc.)

We hope to have the glatt kosher market open by Passover so you can get your Matzah and kosher for passover goodies.

Peace out,

Lily.

Newton doesn’t have ANY Kosher restaurants as of now. If it is true that the empty former Chinese restaurant is indeed going become Taam China2, I’ll be thrilled. It’s within walking distance to my home, and to the Chabad shul on Dedham St. I’d rather it NOT be a Chinese restaurant, but then again, I wish I’d won the lottery. You gotta play to win, and you gotta eat, too. Just one restaurant we can get to in our neighborhood without dealing with Newton Centre traffic. Priceless!

Why are Kosher Restaurants always appearing in the Newton and Brookline area? They have enough of them (especially Chinese). Why not a nice Jewish Community that would provide alot of business such as Sharon or the Framingham/Natick area?
