19 Vital Jewish Delis in NYC
Liebman’s featured in Eater NY’s list of “19 Vital Jewish Delis in NYC” in 2022.
Jewish delis were once the backbone of the New York food scene, but in the modern age their numbers have greatly diminished. Everything from low-fat dieting trends to anti-meat preferences over the last couple of decades has had an effect, but so have newer and more faddish forms of food that make hot pastrami, gefilte fish, and matzo ball soup seem hopelessly old-fashioned.
“Revel in the old-fashioned ambiance, including sea-blue naugahyde booths, pale beige walls, wood-grained formica, and copious neon in the front windows, through which one spies a luscious display of hot dogs and Liebman’s signature round knishes. Sandwiches are of the overstuffed variety, with both pastrami and corned beef cured on the premises. Be sure to get gravy on your fries.”
