Cafe 11 is a kosher dairy lobby cafe by Bowling Green that quietly runs one of FiDi’s most dependable sushi programs alongside bagels, salads, and sandwiches. Since 2009 it has served fast, made-to-order rolls that appeal as much to Wall Street regulars as to visitors looking for a quick kosher sushi fix.
