Kosher Restaurants in New Jersey, Page 9
New Jersey has one of the largest and most varied kosher dining scenes in the United States, spread across several distinct Orthodox communities rather than a single downtown. The main hubs are Bergen County (centered on Teaneck, Englewood, and Fair Lawn), Lakewood and greater Ocean County, Passaic and Clifton, and the Syrian and Sephardic community around Deal and Oakhurst on the Jersey Shore. Each hub runs its own local vaad, so a restaurant in Teaneck, one in Lakewood, and one in Deal will typically carry three different certifications. Options range from glatt steakhouses and Israeli grills to dairy pizza shops, sushi bars, bakeries, and prepared-food counters inside kosher supermarkets.
Kosher venues cluster tightly by town: Cedar Lane, Queen Anne Road, and West Englewood Avenue in Teaneck, Cedarbridge Avenue and the Clifton Avenue and River Avenue corridors in Lakewood, Main Avenue in Passaic, and Norwood Avenue in Deal and Oakhurst. All of these communities are strongly Sabbath observant, so most establishments close early Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, reopening Saturday night or Sunday. Lakewood and Bergen County have the widest weekday selection, while the Deal area is busiest in summer. Because towns sit close together, visitors often drive between Teaneck, Englewood, and Fair Lawn, or between Lakewood, Jackson, and Toms River, to reach a specific restaurant.
