The 8 Best Jewish Delis In NYC

Liebman’s featured in Gothamist’s List of “The 8 Best Jewish Delis In NYC”

Once upon time, a deli, or delicatessen, was a restaurant with large booths, huge menus, celebrity photos on the walls, and the smell of pickle brine in the air. In a city that was once littered with real Jewish delis, too many have been lost to time and we are now down to fewer than 20. Lift your can of Dr. Brown’s to the remaining few and look at our picks for the best of a dying breed.

“One of two remaining Jewish delis in the Bronx, this Riverdale favorite is the one worth traveling to if you’re not already a local. It’s just a subway ride away, but it will feel like a time warp. The kosher restaurant remains joyously stuck in time with a stellar corned beef and pastrami combo sandwich ($17.95) that’s a must-order on any visit. Stick around for the kasha knish ($4.25) and a great matzo ball soup ($4.95) if you still have room.”
