The Jewish-owned Effy’s Cafe, dubbed a “taste of Israel” for the Upper West Side, was vandalised in the early hours of Sunday morning. According to a representative for the restaurant, this is the first time Effy’s Cafe has been defaced since it opened in 2013.
Photos posted on X showed locals coming together to scrub away at the graffiti on the pavement outside Effy’s Cafe on W. 96th Street, which also read “Free Gaza” in green paint.
