I disagree, especially about the kosher butcher - my grandparents' Jewish club has been serving pork and shrimp for years. The Weissman apartment is on the Upper West Side (paid for by Columbia) and as an UWS Jew myself whose family secularized earlier than the time that Mrs. Maisel takes place the show resonates with me SO strongly, I feel like I'm at home while I'm watching and I love it for that. It may not tell every Jews story but I feel it tells mine.
