Eyal Shani opened the upscale HaSalon, known for its party atmosphere, in Hells Kitchen three months ago. A review on Tuesday in the New York Post said of the appetizer tomato cut into eight pieces and drizzled with olive oil and sea salt: Its red/green/brown hues and sea of swirling seeds thrilled my eyes. Its deep, nutty-and-sweet, late-August, just-picked flavor pleased my palate. Its appearance on the menu offended my wallet.
The review concluded: HaSalon translates as the salon or, as applied to this venue, the living room. But it might as well mean, Ha, suckers! The jokes on us.
The New Yorker magazine also took note of the high-priced produce, noting, It was a very nice tomato, but, for that price, it should come with a massage and a pedicure.
Following the publication of the Post review, Shani said he received an anonymous anti-Semitic letter which read, in part: Majority of Americans despise Israel. We did not want your Soda Stream. And only stupid kikes would eat at your overpriced pit.

Though this happened a month ago, I added this because I am starting to see a new anti-Semitic attack, and its one I don't understand, and that is that Jews don't pay taxes. Where the fuck is this coming from?
