Israeli Food Find

Went past Israeli chef Einat Admony's new Nolita restaurant, Balaboosta (A Yiddish term meaning the perfect housewife, homemaker). Very swish compared with Taim, her much smaller joint in the West Village. Must-have appetizers include the fried olives with labne and the humus which is served guacamole-style with mortar and pestle for DIY chickpea crushing. Delicious.

Find it at 214 Mulberry St. near Spring.
