________________ Chabad does not certify establishments kosher in Queens__________________
Queens is a very Jewish borough in New York but is NOT like Boro Park, Crown Heights, or Williamsburg etc.
The local Hashgocha is a reputable Kosher certification lead by reputable Rabbonim, but, like numerous kosher certifications in the USA and Israel, do not adhere to the highest levels of Kashrus available.
Therefore we bring you a clear list for your information.
* Most of these establishments are 10-20 minutes drive from the Ohel Chabad Lubavitch.
** 10-30 minutes from LaGuardia and JFK airports
*** 20-30 minutes from Crown Heights
**** Many are on apps online and deliver. Plan ahead. Enjoy!
