I'm pretty sure this is generally accepted as reliable. If you go to Kashrus Magazine and click on "Kosher Supervision Guide" in the left column, you'll get lists of reliable certifications, listed by state. (And, for NY metro area, divided up further. but the region listed is where the rabbi is, not where the restaurant is. There are plenty of restaurants in Manhattan with a Brooklyn or Monsey rabbi's certification.) (Nilly, do you have any other listings of which ones you consider reliable?)

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
Oh, and Deb, the site I linked last night was [link] .
Robin, I shall make sure you're on the list. I was thinking of gathering for a dinner.
Me too please!
Oh, and Nilly, did you hear about the questions about the kashrus of NYC tap water? Are you OK with using it? (Long story short -- they found that there are some microscopic organisms in it, that none of the health authorities or clean water people care about, because they're totally safe to drink, but they're technically crustaceans, so a whole bunch of NY rabbis are arguing over whether it counts if you can't see it without a microscope.)
Great, Hil, thanks!
Dude. My kosher understanding is shattered. I was so sure the KVH sign up in JP Lick's was, like, the One True Kosher Restaurant sign. It is only one of many many.
(On the up side, Nilly, at least you can get ice cream in Boston.)
(I mean, I'm sure other food items too, but definitely ice cream.)
(Which is the whole point, right?)
Catching up ... yay for Nilly getting her ticket and everything.
And Deb ... the woman with a crossbow ... why am I not surprised she also has a blowtorch?
Okay, I'd really like to book a ticket to NYC (August 26/27-29) soon since the ticket prices have been fluctuating like the stock market, but I have two questions first:
1. Is Thursday 10:45 PM too unreasonable a time to be picked up from LaGuardia? Moreso than, say, Friday 3:41 PM?
2. Would anyone like to offer me a place to stay? I should be able to crash with a non-Buffista if not, but I figure it would be easier for me to join in any group activities.
(Also, Allyson, I'd like to be on the itinerary list, please.)
(Looking at that Kashrus Magazine link more closely, I noticed one symbol that I know some people find questionable. So, I'm not sure how reliable the others are.)
