Alan Dershowitz, the prominent lawyer and former Jeffrey Epstein associate, has been offered free pierogi for life by a Mar-a-Lago member after being refused service at a Martha's Vineyard farmer's market. Peter Nowocien, owner of PierogiOne restaurant in South Florida and a member of Donald Trump's private club, made the offer following Dershowitz's public dispute with the Good Pierogi stand.
Dershowitz, 86, had threatened a discrimination lawsuit after being denied pierogi in July, claiming the vendor refused him for political reasons and antisemitism. He returned last week but was again turned away by owner Krem Miskevich, who cited Dershowitz's defense of Epstein as the reason. Supporters of the stand chanted 'time to go' at the lawyer.
Nowocien, a Polish immigrant, told the New York Post that 'pierogi should bring people together — not divide them' and that Dershowitz's 'disturbing experience did not sit right' with him. He offered to send Dershowitz and his family free dumplings for life, noting that discrimination 'breeds injustice.'
Dershowitz has alleged that Miskevich, who is Jewish, is antisemitic and part of an organization that protests Jewish cultural events. Miskevich countered that Dershowitz harassed them and misgendered them, and that they refused service because of his association with sexual predators.
Dershowitz, heading to Israel, said he would not return to the stand, adding that 'they will sell me better pierogi' there.
