Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Jack's Wife, Freda is a comfortable, casual eatery with two locations in Manhattan that are packed throughout the day with locals enjoying the restaurant’s Jewish-inspired comfort food. Owned by husband-wife team Dean and Maya Jankelowitz, this cozy nook starts the day with healthy breakfast options and freshly brewed coffee, offers brunch for late risers, and welcomes early and late lunchers followed by the afternoon wine and coffee drinkers. Dinner is always busy, with an attractive crowd who flock to try the South African-inspired dishes such as green shakshuka stew and fried chicken giblets with peri-peri sauce and a spicy veggie curry bowl with couscous. Breakfast plates range from omelets and eggs, poached egg, pancakes, and waffles to toasted baguettes, along with house-roasted coffee and fresh juices, including the signature cantaloupe juice.
