THE RESTAURANT WILL BE CLOSED DURING MAY AND JUNE 2025 DUE TO ELIOT'S SHOULDER SURGERY and RECOVERY TIME

To our loyal friends, family, and customers (some of you are all 3!),

As many of you already know, the Saturday before Thanksgiving,

I slipped on a wet step while unloading, and did a number on my shoulder. I’ve been getting by as best I can, with limited use of my right shoulder. Thanks to our lovely medical insurance system, it’s taken 6 months to find out that the only way to fix my completely torn muscle is surgery. It’s a long recovery and I’m the only cook. My surgeon has told me that 2 months is the earliest I should attempt to work with what will even then be a less than fully healed shoulder. That means the Whole in the Wall will be closed for 2 months starting on May 9th.

I think you can imagine what a massive hit that is on our ability to pay the bills. I won’t sugar coat it, we need help. I know, everyone’s got their hand out and maybe we’re just one more. But the truth is, we’ve been slugging it out, trying to make delicious, healthy food, and trying to make the world a better place for a very long time. With your help, we can continue our mission as long as we are able.

We’ve all got our struggles, and we all need to establish the priorities that work for us. If thoughts and prayers are all that works, they are gratefully accepted. If you are able to help us financially, that is also gratefully accepted. No amount is too small, and again, of course there is no judgement, as it truly is the thought that counts. We are also embedding a gofundme link, if anyone prefers that method. Or you can send what you can directly to us. Should you want soup, pesto, etc, feel free to call our office line: 607 722-5138 to make arrangements, or you can text my cell 607 722-0537. We will also have someone at our booth at the farmers market as often as we can.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

About Us

Welcome! The Whole in the Wall restaurant offers a wide variety of international foods. Although we are a natural foods restaurant, it is crucial to us that all of our food tastes great! If it doesn't taste great, we don't serve it. Unlike the "rabbit food" some fear to find at natural foods restaurants, everything we serve is hardy and flavorful. From our famous garlic balls and bagels to our to-die-for creamy mushroom soup (made from fresh mushrooms), our menu is filled with one-of-a-kind offerings, including numerous Gluten-Free items. We serve seafood (delivered fresh daily), poultry and a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan entrees. We are also happy to accommodate any special dietary needs. Our head chef Eliot Fiks is also a nutritional consultant and well-versed in avoiding cross-contamination.

FOUR HANDS

Four hands prepare and serve you food at the Whole in the Wall, mine and my wife's. Our food is made with love from scratch. It's healthy, natural, local, and organic whenever possible.

When you come to see us, it will be like coming to our home and enjoying a special meal with good friends. It may take longer than the typical restaurant, but we believe it's worth the wait! We've been cooking with love for 43 years. We were the first natural foods restaurant in Binghamton, the first certified gluten-free and the first non-smoking, that's a lot of firsts! We ask you to make a reservation before you come as we can only accommodate so many tables at a time. We hope to see you sometime soon.
