Beloved New York Restaurants Plan for Change By Ayelet Ehrenkranz | December 24, 2020
Changes are coming to popular kosher restaurants in New York City. Since March, over 1,000 restaurants in the city have permanently shut down. To survive, restaurants adjusted their menus, added delivery options and created outdoor dining spaces. In addition to those tactics, Noi Due Cafe, the Italian eatery on the Upper West Side, and Izzy’s Brooklyn Smokehouse, located in Crown Heights, announced plans to open new locations.
Noi Due Cafe announced on Wednesday, December 16, in an Instagram post, that the restaurant will be moving to a new “spacious” location at 491 Columbus Ave. The new location, according to the post, will “host an open kitchen with an incredible new custom-made brick oven pizza” as well as two party rooms and a bar area with high-top tables and an open lobby. Also in the works is a large outdoor cafe area for year-round use.
