Courtside Knishes Come to U.S. Open
The U.S. Open tennis tournament now has a kosher food cart. Hot dogs, pretzels and knishes are among the items available at the cart run by Jeffrey Striks of Strictly Kosher, who also operates kosher food carts at New York Yankees and Mets baseball games, and at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Every evening during the tournament, Striks is organizing a minyan of 10 men for evening prayers. “It’s my trademark,” he said.
