It is the largest island within the contiguous borders of the United States. It is composed of four counties namely Kings, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. It boasts a rich and cultural history as Native Americans inhabited Long Island for thousands of years. Kosher cuisine is quite popular in New York which has a population of more than one million people of Jewish descent. What makes food kosher is the way of preparation. Kosher food is made and prepared in accordance with the Jewish Dietary Laws.
