The long history of efforts to bring kosher dining to George Mason University came to a close on Tuesday with the opening of northern Virginia’s only kosher restaurant.
As GMU students returned from a three-day weekend, they could choose to eat at The Mason Mensch at The Eaterie on GMU’s Fairfax campus for lunch or dinner. The kosher restaurant opened to the public on Jan. 21, but The Mason Mensch is hardly new; it had humble beginnings as a food stand in the university’s dining area.
