nu j2











what i like about life is being able to rely on old standbys like hersheys or coca-cola. they are always the same . except for that brief episode of new coke that never caught on.
change is necessary, but i love the comfort of sameness.
well.... you can just imagine how i felt today when i walked past j2 in manhattan. it almost looks like starbucks and tasti delight took over. it looks too gentrified. j2 has been redecorated several times since ive lived in new york, but this makeover is the most drastic. i almost thought i had walked past j2 when i saw the new look.
the menu has changed as well. it looks like circa took over. there is alot of fresh fruit cups and salad. these changes are definitely a plus.
one room in the new j2 marketplace that has not been renovated is the little girls room. the one room that actually could use a makeover.
i didnt manage to taste any of the nu j2's menu items so i cant tell you if the food is as tasty.
i hope this newly renovated j2 brings everyone as many good memories as the previous version had.

You know what they say about restaurants... if you want to know how clean they really are, check the bathrooms.

That is disgusting.

What Jewish fast food, and many not fast food, restaurant bathroom doesn't look like that?
The only safe time to go near the bathroom is around inspection time.

i must tell you that sometimes the bathroom at j2 looks 10x worse than it did in my photo. of course, now we all know why they often have no toilet paper in the dispenser. its all on the floor.

Still and all I went there before pesach and the food is very good compared to what it once was. very good. so what they didnt redo the upstairs bathrooms, the food is still very good.

i agree with you that the food is good, but i do think that they need to redo or at least clean the bathrooms more often. however, the bathroom at j2 is and has always been better than the ladies room at kosher delight in the city. kosher delight's bathroom is repulsive. it wins the worst kosher restaraunt bathroom award.

After my eating experiences at both the Brooklyn and the Manhattan KD, I call it Kosher DeCrap. That is the one "restaurant" I avoid at all cost.
