Would Harvard Square shwarm to a kosher restaurant?

adamg — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:55:38 +0000

The Crimson reports that Rami's, the kosher Israeli place in Coolidge Corner, is looking to expand and has listed Harvard Square as one of its possible new locations (along with Framingham and Sharon).

According to the Crimson, there's a glatt of interest at Harvard; says some even predict prospective students might decide where to go based on the presence of kashruth in the square.

Of course, the interest has to be tempered with the fact that the last kosher joint in Harvard Square didn't last long.

Oy: State says something wasn't kosher about Newton butcher shop

A Newton butcher shop was fined $1,000 today for advertising kosher meat even after it stopped paying for kosher certification, the state Attorney General's office announced today.

The Gordon and Alperin Butcher Shop made a business decision in 2008 to drop its kosher certification, but the AG's office said the shop continued to post "Kosher meat" signs in Hebrew and to advertise the same on a Web site.

Gordon and Alperin has since regained its kashrut certification, Kosher Blog reports.
