New restaurant on Upper West Side

Moshe's Falafel, a beloved kosher food cart since 1981, has opened a new brick-and-mortar restaurant on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, responding to community demand for a permanent location. Co-founders Moshe Mizrachi and David Itah aim to bring their authentic falafel to a neighborhood with a significant Jewish population. Meanwhile, Chick-fil-A is expanding its presence in New York City, planning to open its first location on the Upper West Side at 795 Columbus Avenue, which would be the chain's 11th in Manhattan. Additionally, a new location in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, is set to hire 80-120 employees as it prepares for a late summer opening, while a stand-alone restaurant in Newburgh, Indiana, will open soon, contributing to local charities through its Shared Table program. The growing popularity of both Moshe's Falafel and Chick-fil-A highlights the diverse culinary landscape of the city and beyond.
