Description

The menu covers the Jewish deli canon, pairing its signature pastrami with matzo ball soup, blintzes, and corned beef. While the food rivals New York’s most famous tourist landmarks, the experience here centers on a traditional sit-down setup with efficient service. Portions are notoriously massive—the hot pastrami sandwich practically demands mustard—and arrive alongside classic kosher coleslaw and pickles.
