Israeli restaurant Miriam vandalized in New York City's Park Slope

Miriam is one of the most iconic Israeli restaurants in New York. The restaurant's facade and storefront were sprayed with graffiti, including "Genocide Cuisine" and "Israel Steals Culture."

Security camera footage obtained by Ynet shows two women and a man arriving at the restaurant around 3 a.m. and causing extensive damage to the area. The New York Police Department has opened an investigation, and so far no arrests have been reported.

Miriam, which opened in Brooklyn 20 years ago, was one of the pioneers in bringing Israeli cuisine to New York. The restaurant became famous for its breakfast and brunch, with dishes like schnitzel, baked beets in green tahini, shakshuka, hummus and a selection of fresh salads. The success led to the opening of another branch on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Eater magazine called it "the ideal place for comfort food" and wrote, "Mirjam and her breakfast epitomize the simple, unpretentious style of food: short ingredient list, lots of butter, comfort food that satisfies without surprising. Food can heal, how have people dealt with heartbreak in New York before?"
