What can I tell you? I ordered a ton of stuff from Omnitsky’s for our family seder – 16 people all up at Whistler. Picked it up – it was already in boxes waiting for me and took it to the cabin. Fortunately, we were able to get it all into the generously proportioned bar fridge, and thus resisted the urge to “taste” each time the fridge door was opened (which was quite often).
We had matzo balls (perfect size and texture – yummy), chicken liver (even the baby loved it) and gefilte fish (the best we’ve had). Super haroset too! Then a whole turkey, carved with gravy, and a whole brisket, also carved, with gravy. An argument broke out as to which was better – it ended in a draw. Pesadich stuffing and tsimmus were perfect compliments to the dinner. Followed by chocolate mousse cake – to die for.
Then turkey coma ensued. But it was so good, we had the leftovers the next night. Thank you Eppy. You really made the weekend and the seder so memorable.

Your kosher corner store. Lots of cultures have their own ethnic markets that specialize in whatever quirks of cuisine that group craves. Think Spanic bodegas, Punjabi spicy markets, Chinese grocers with piles of dried sea-things. Omnitsky is like the Jewish version of that. You can get religiously pure foods, chocolate bars with labels inscribed in Hebrew, a variety of made-in-Israel products, etc. They also sell food to nosh as you sit on the scattering of tables they have in the front. It's clean inside for an ethnic market -- of course! Kosher is all about clean.
I got some Montreal smoked meat and rye bread to make Reuben sandwiches. (No cheese, though -- Omnitsky's prices for that are outrageous!) The smoked meat wasn't too fatty. I asked if they sold separate fatty and lean smoked meat, the way Schwartz's in Montreal does. Only one type at Omnitsky, and it has a smoky, salty, sweetish taste, not much fat. It made a fine sandwich. Too bad I don't have two sets of dishes to serve it on.
Yumm. Loved the Poppy Ring, good size and tasty. Next I will try the caraway rye, an old NYC favorite
