YES! It is incredible, too. Their wine is usually between $4-$6 a bottle. A lot of it is eino mebushal, though. SaraBee Moscato, Terrenal Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon, and Terrenal Tempranillo (a Spanish rich red).
They’re not earth-shattering, razzle-dazzle wines, but they are enjoyable and are a great buy.
I generally prefer sweeter wines for drinking and dry wines for cooking.

If you live in (or can get to) Brooklyn, Queens, or the Five Towns, you’ll be able to get chicken on sale for much less than the cost of Empire chicken at Waldbaum’s.
AFAIK, family planning is not in consonance with frumkeit except in unusual circumstances. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go into more detail in this topic, especially since it has probably been discussed elsewhere in the CR.
I’ve lived out of town (in an expensive east coast city) and in town (including a brief time in the heilige Flatbush). I have never had a problem with employers. The only reason we came back to the NYC area was alluded to by jewishfeminist02. In New York, the school district will allow district-paid therapists and paraprofessionals in religious schools. This is not true of many other places. As regards frum special education programs, the several I’ve experienced as a parent and an educator have been sorely lacking.
