This pocketbook provides the names and addresses of places for observant Jews to stay or eat in dozens of U. S. cities, many quite obscure. Sometimes these are commercial establishments (such as Cohen’s Manhattan House, in Hazelton PA), but most are private homes (such as that of Mrs. J. Stein, McKean Av., Donora--also Pennsylvania). Each entry includes the name of the local rabbi endorsing the establishment. The listings are interspersed with display advertisements for numerous hotels, restaurants, and foodstuffs, including Hausdorff’’s Hotel Dolphin in Atlantic City (“Kashruth guaranteed by leading Orthodox rabbis--Positively No Cooking Done on Sabbath”), Hyman Trotzky 673 Broadway, New York, (“the finest and largest strictly kosher dining room in the United States”), and the Original Horowitz’s Matzoths (“kosher in the true sense of the word… under the strict supervision of the two greatest Orthodox rabbis in the country”).
