Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Matzo(s)

There are just too many jokes to be made about this sign. You know, the one about matzo being plural (substitute "breads" and you'll see what we mean)... the one about the restaurant's love of bizarre phrasing... the one about how of course JAP hotspot Gia Pronto has matzo/matzoh/matza/matzah available. Though let's be real: seeded rolls are too carb-y for post-Pulco/pre-Fling dieters anyway.

Gia isn't the only place where those living the unleavened lifestyle for the next week can get some KFP grub. Metro is offering obscenely overpriced ($3 a piece!) matzo in olive, sundried tomato, sesame and plain flavors. Seems a little steep to us, so we were delighted to hear a friend of ours received a free (and totally unprompted) side of matzo with his Marathon delivery.

And for those of you who want matzo-as-entree-and-not-side-dish, rumor has it Koch's — everyone's favorite deli — will be subbing matzo for bread for Passover-observing patrons. This is definitely worth the walk to 43rd, if only for the excessive amount of samples you'll get while waiting for your order. Sick of matzo but still want to go breadless? Try Jimmy John's "Unwich" which replaces bread with lettuce.

Check out our Gia matzo after the jump. (Oh, and did we mention you can go to Hillel? Just make sure to beware of mouse droppings.)
