In the vibrant Flatiron district, healthy fast-casual dining options abound, yet kosher choices have been relatively limited along 23rd Street. Fortunately, Something Green, a grab-and-go eatery that launched in late 2025, has recently added kosher certification for part of its menu. While it might not be a fully kosher restaurant, it’s a noteworthy stop for those in the area looking for kosher options.
Kosher Offerings
Under the supervision of Rabbi Mehlman from NKS (National Kosher Supervision), the kosher menu includes beverages and grab-and-go items. This isn’t limited to just chips and bottled water; their grab-and-go selection features fully prepared meals made fresh daily. Enjoy items like poke bowls, salmon wraps, noodle bowls, and hearty salads. However, note that items custom-made on the spot are not certified kosher. If you’re picking from their ready-made daily offerings, you can confidently enjoy a genuine kosher meal here.
The certification from Rabbi Mehlman lends credibility, further enhanced by the Shomer Shabbat ownership, which adds a significant layer of conscientious operation.
All About Something Green
The concept behind Something Green originated in Brooklyn, promoting clean eating at wallet-friendly prices. Their menu is centered around freshly prepared bowls, wraps, salads, and smoothies, using non-GMO ingredients and avoiding unhealthy oils. Popular favorites include a Poke The Bowl featuring spicy tuna and avocado over brown rice, a Salmon Teriyaki Noodle Bowl, a Kale Tempeh Salad, and an acai bowl. The atmosphere is fast, fresh, and health-oriented—elevating it beyond the standard grab-and-go experience.
The establishment features counter service, making it ideal for takeout, with options for online ordering and major delivery apps. Catered meals are also available through ezCater.
Important Information Before You Visit
Be clear on what’s certified and what’s not before making your visit. The grab-and-go meals and beverages are certified kosher. However, if someone custom prepares your wrap or bowl, it won’t have that same certification. To ensure you stay within kosher guidelines, stick to the daily pre-made selections. This establishment is one of the few certified options in the Flatiron area, and with Shomer Shabbat ownership and observance of Saturday closures, it stands as a genuinely kosher-conscious establishment.
Something Green is located at 41 West 23rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, New York, NY 10010. Their kosher certification applies to beverages and pre-packaged grab-and-go items only, supervised by Rabbi Mehlman of NKS (National Kosher Supervision). Freshly prepared items are not kosher certified. They are closed on Saturdays. You can order online at somethingreen.com.
