Cozy — and Kosher — in New Hampshire

What’s being billed as the first “luxury, year-round” kosher resort has opened in New Hampshire, of all places.
The Arlington Hotel also boasts the “five-star” Birch Bistro, whose offerings even include “a decadent kosher continental breakfast.” Birch’s menu looks pretty middle-of-the-road, but beef tongue crustini [sic] and a pastrami on rye sub sound intriguing.

The Arlington had operated as a non-kosher hotel for more than 50 years before it was bought last year and renovated. More at YeshivaWorld.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
