Kosher Dining Corridor Widens in Florida and Jersey as Sukkot Sukkah Lists Get Refreshed

South Florida's kosher dining corridor keeps growing heading into Sukkot. Zev's Pizza — the founder of NJ's Zevy's reinventing under a new name — opens in North Miami Beach within about four weeks, adding a fast-casual option to the Aventura/NMB strip advisors route clients through for winter stays and holiday travel. A few miles north, Koji & Coal, an ORB-certified upscale Asian-fusion restaurant, has taken over the former PX Grill space on Ft. Lauderdale's North Ocean Blvd, giving the market a sit-down alternative beyond the usual pizza-and-grill rotation. Separately, Holy Schnitzel — now the largest kosher quick-service franchise in the US — is opening its 11th location in Boca Raton next month and its 12th in Highland Park, NJ within about four weeks. For advisors booking the Boca/Glades Road hub or the NJ corridor, that's two more standing recommendations to add to client itineraries.

YeahThatsKosher's Global Sukkah Restaurant List has been updated to v4, tracking which kosher restaurants worldwide are offering sukkah seating through Chol Hamoed this week. For advisors fielding last-minute Sukkot questions, the list flags options well beyond Israel: Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in Nassau, several spots across Toronto and Vaughan, an entry in Costa Rica, and a Paris listing — all destinations that regularly show up in non-Israel kosher bookings. Because the list is maintained on a rolling basis rather than as a one-time chag roundup, it's worth bookmarking as a standing reference rather than treating this week's version as final. Advisors confirming a client's Chol Hamoed meal plan should still verify sukkah availability directly with the property before booking, since holiday seating capacity can shift day to day during the chag.
