Meet…Maya Jankelowitz, co-owner of Jack’s Wife Freda. Maya was kind enough to have me by @jackswifefreda and discuss NYC. Here is what she had to say…

What is NYC?

“NYC was the place I came to dream and learnt to believe. My home. A place where lots of little wonderful things happen especially when you nurture & trust her. What I know about NYC is our spirit is unmatched and we are ebbing and flowing as NYers always do. We are pulling through this with grace.”

What do you say to those that say “NYC is dead”?

“As you think about the world, so you will see it. Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it. & life is more complex than a duality-based experience of life or death, good or bad, right or wrong. I think those of us who stayed in the city got to have a direct experience of this aliveness. I encourage to make peace with death. To see it as a culminating adventure of this adventure of life. Nothing is set up in stone, so when you can just show up with pure intent to what is, with full commitment, with no judgment, no labeling, with an open heart, take the next step innocently and trust that life will continue to reveal to you where you need to go, you understand that the mastery is about experiencing and feeling pain and suffering in your life and still loving the journey anyway. And if this is death, I don’t want to die without any scars anyways.”

What about your life changed while living in NYC?

“Being in restaurants since the late 90’s. Long hours of interacting with so many people in this environment in which so much is happening, suddenly seeing the ways in which we are all alike – not different. Unique - not special. There is no better place in the world to have met so many remarkable people. Best teachers.”

JWF needs no introduction. The restaurant is loved by many for their amazing dishes, friendly family-like environment and welcoming embrace. After closing down in March 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, they resumed operations a few months later in May of 2020.
