See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Answer: Shamash.org maintains a [5]database of restaurants in various cities that are kosher. This database may be found at [6]http://www.shamash.org/kosher/. The interface provides an easy to use search service for the database. There is also a link to a service that allows you to download the database to your Palm Pilot. Email inquiries on the database may be sent to the Shamash Kosher Restaurant Team at [7]kosher@shamash.org. Another possibility is KosherNIC Restaurant Index, at [8]http://www.koshernic.com. This is a searchable database of kosher restaurants around the world. It provides reviews, ratings, maps and driving directions. It is fully searchable by location, KEYWORD, Hashgacha, cuisine, etc. Some other ideas: * Call the hotel. Most large hotels, especially the chains, have provisions for providing Kosher food, given adequate notice. The hotel can tell you what it can provide. It can also provide the name of the Mashgiach (kashruth supervisor). * If the conference hotel cannot provide the services you require, then call another large chain hotel. * All hotels have the names of nearby houses of worship--and sometimes ones in other parts of town. A call to the hotel will always elicit this information, and a call to the congregation may get information not obtainable directly from the hotel. This might include contacts for minyons that have no shul, but which are within easier walking distance of the Hotel. This is also a possible source of recommendations for hotels with Kosher catering facilities, should the conference hotel not have any. It can also be as source of information on the reliability of the Mashgiach, if you require this information.
