The new wave of Jewish restaurants in New York that includes the Moorish La Vara, an outpost of Borscht Belt-ish Kutsher’s, and “glam kosher” Jezebel has really just been missing its analog, the underground supper club. Filling that void is the Hester, a kosher supper club and hipsterish-seeming speakeasy rolled into one. Dinners take place semiregularly in a Ditmas Park Victorian,
writes Yeah That’s Kosher. There are drinks, lots of great food, and plenty of music, but adhering to Orthodox tradition, no mixed dancing or women singing. [Hester, Yeah That’s Kosher, Earlier]
