NYC’s Thyme & Tonic Now Offering Meat + New Hashgacha, Hours, and Menus • YeahThatsKosher

thyme and tonicSince 2020, UWS’s mostly vegan and gluten-free mainstay (a sister restaurant to Modern Bread & Bagel) has been kosher certified under the IKC until this week.

The restaurant is newly certified Kosher by Rabbi Mehlman of the National Kosher Supervision. Sunday was the first day of business for the restaurant under the new hash gacha. There is now a full-time mash gacha when food is being prepared or cooked. In the current hash gacha, restaurants are not open on Shabbat.

While this change involves shifting, Thyme and Tonic’s almost entirely plant-based menu is complemented by the addition of dairy. meat instead.

Despite the added meat, the restaurant’s owner considers the restaurant to be “plant first.” On the menu, all dishes are plant-based in nature, and meat substitutions must be requested (previously dairy substitutions had to be requested). So the first thing we plant is that dishes on the menu are marked vegan, but we offer the option of replacing them with high quality, healthy meat options. We want to be the de facto restaurant. We also have a separate vegan flyer for all our vegan items. ”

For clarity, almost everything on the menu is still vegan/plant-based, but diners can instead choose to add or swap out certain items with the FlySig option.
