Boston kosher photo archive
I’ve just published my collection of reasonably high-resolution photographs of Boston’s kosher establishments, past and present. I’d like to do an update sometime, with new shops and better versions of some of the old shots, but a free Sunday to drive around and take pictures doesn’t come around so often anymore! If anyone else out there has photos to add, let me know.

Thanks for the memories. I had forgotten some of those places–Tuler’s, Cheryl Ann’s, for example.
Nice photos. Some of the veterans of Boston will be helpful in posting photos of Cafe Aviv, Cafe Shalom, Victor’s Pizza, Cookie’s Cookin, Milk St. Cafe Kendall Square, Milk Street Cafe Longwood Galleria, Jerusalem Cafe, Tiberias, Galilee, David’s Table (Sharon), Delitzier, Zaatar’s Oven, Leaven & Earth, Friedmans, Taam Tov, Julie’s Kitchen, and Taam China II.
Am I forgetting any?
Two more from the past: Mavens (Cambridge, owned in part by Alan Dershowitz) and Haim’s Deli (in Washington Square).
Also: Cafe Shiraz, Casa Mia/Orly’s Cafe, G&G Deli/Market.
Zaatar’s failure still mystifies me.
Lance, how can you forget about House of Kabob?
(And from the present, Ruth’s Bakery and Deja Vu/Shalom Tel Aviv, both in Stoughton.)
What was House of Kabob, and where was it? When?
And one more from about 30 years ago on Harvard St. - Harolds.
Ok, now who can post photos of some of these places?
I believe the restaurant in Sharon was called King David’s, not David’s Table. Also, I think Dershowitz’s restaurant in Cambridge (open for a few months in 1988) was called the Maven’s Court (or perhaps Maven’s Kosher Court).
Come to think of it, “House of Kabob” and “Jerusalem Cafe” may have been the same place. (I think the sign said “Jerusalem Cafe: House of Kabob,” but in high school, we only ever referred to it as House of Kabob. Jabbet might remember this?)
Anyway, it was either in the location where Taam China is now or somewhere close to there, in the mid-90s.
How about 9 Steps Down in Kenmore Square? I miss Cookies Cookin’.
I recall a place called Jerusalem Cafe–across from The Butcherie in the mid-late 90s–but I don’t remember House of Kabob. You may be right.
Someone mentioned G&G - Was that establishment ever actually kosher?
G&G wasn’t kosher.
