A New Kosher Scoop on the Long Beach Boardwalk

A new kosher frozen yogurt shop, Buddies, has opened in Long Beach, NY, certified under the South Shore Vaad. The barrier-island strip spanning Long Beach, Lido Beach, and Atlantic Beach draws a steady Orthodox summer crowd, and dessert options carrying reliable hashgacha have been thin on the ground there relative to the area's kosher restaurant and bakery scene. For advisors booking Shabbat-observant families or groups into this Long Island beach community, it's a small but useful addition to the local amenity list — worth a mention alongside existing kosher meal and lodging options when building summer itineraries for the corridor. No pricing, hours, or menu details were included in the opening announcement, so advisors should confirm specifics directly with the shop before promising it to clients.
