Buddies Frozen Yogurt Opens Under South Shore Vaad Hechsher in Long Beach, NY
A new kosher frozen yogurt shop, Buddies, has opened on the boardwalk in Long Beach, NY, certified by the South Shore Vaad — the only hechsher accepted on that barrier island, which also covers Lido Beach and Atlantic Beach. This corridor is a well-established summer destination for Orthodox families and camps, but dine-in dessert options carrying an accepted certification have been limited. Buddies fills that gap directly, giving advisors a concrete new recommendation for clients spending the season there. For bookings involving family summer stays, day-camp groups, or extended-family gatherings on the South Shore, this is a small but useful addition to the on-the-ground food list — worth flagging to repeat clients who ask about kosher options beyond the usual pizza and deli stops in the area.
