Throwback: Mcdonald’s in Rockland County Celebrates Passover (1990)

Dear Rabbi Robert Pilavin
Jewish Community Center (JCC)
250 N. Main Street
Spring Valley, New York 10977

Dear Rabbi Pilavin,

Certainly when you think of up-coming holiday of passover, you don’t usually think of McDonald’s Restaurants. However, throughout the year we have been well patronized by Jewish families in Rockland County…and we very much appreciate their business. Even Jewish customers who observe Kosher laws in their own homes will stop in for a cup of coffee…a respite from a long day of chores and/or shopping.

We would like to mention that during the Passover holiday, we will make available matzo, kosher for Passover, in three locations:

– McDonald’s Nanuet – Route 59
– McDonald’s Spring Valley – Route 59
– McDonald’s Suffern – Route 59

Our employees have been instructed to hand the matzo as follows: Remove directly from matzo box with sanitary plastic gloves and place on a disposable plate for the customer.

We don’t often get the chance to celebrate with the Jewish Community – other than the menorah we display during Hanukkah. Nevertheless, we would like you to know that we do appreciate your patronage and wish you and your congregation a happy Passover.

Cordially,

Nancy Willen
McDonald’s Restaurants – Public Relations

For generations, New City Bowl & Batting Cages has been a hometown favorite in Rockland County, offering classic family entertainment in the heart of New City. Established in 1960, the bowling alley has remained a community gathering spot where friends and families come together for league nights, birthday parties, arcade games, batting cages, and casual nights out. Under owner Alice Lenna’s leadership, the venue has continued to modernize while keeping its nostalgic neighborhood charm alive.

Recently, the local landmark received a touch of Hollywood when actor Jon Hamm visited during filming for the Apple TV+ drama series Your Friends & Neighbors. The show, which stars Hamm and was filmed throughout New York’s Hudson Valley and Westchester areas, has brought national attention to several local locations.

During production, Hamm spent time at New City Bowl filming scenes for the series, creating excitement throughout the community. Photos of owner Alice Lenna with the Emmy-winning actor quickly became a memorable moment for local residents and fans of the show alike. The appearance highlighted how New City Bowl continues to be more than just a bowling alley — it’s a recognizable piece of the community with a character and atmosphere worthy of the screen.
