Local Recs

We see that you've found yourself here, in the Things To Do section of this wedding site. We really couldn't be happier. Just because we rarely leave a 3-block radius doesn't mean you shouldn't explore. Be better than us. To that end, we've compiled a motley list of recommendations for an unforgettable weekend:

Hummus Kitchen

1613 2nd Avenue, New York, NY 10028
, 212-988-0090

Kosher- IKC certified. Classic Israeli and mediterranean food. Three locations: Upper East, Hell's Kitchen, and FiDi.

Malka

, 929-388-4999

Kosher- Rabbi Mehlman (NKS) certified. One of renowned Michelin-starred chef Eyal Shani's kosher establishments, featuring fresh Israeli-inspired food. Be sure to book a reservation far in advance. Other Eyal Shani restaurants include Shmone, Naked Tomato, Miznon (with one kosher location), Port Sa'id, and Hasalon. Please note only some of these are certified kosher.

2nd Floor Bar & Essen

Beautiful park on the west side of Manhattan. Home to Pier I, a pier and outdoor restaurant/bar by 70th street where we got engaged.

US Open - Flushing, NY

For those who feel too cramped by pickleball, the ancestor sport of tennis may be just the thing.
