205 E Houston St (between Avenue A & Essex St) New York City NY 10002(212) 254-2246When seeking sacred deli space, Katz’s is as close as it gets to divine! This eatery has been a part of New York, Jewish-American culture since 1888. They still carve their own corned beef, knock their own knockwurst and knish their own knishes. Remember the scene in when Harry Met Sally (the faked orgasm)? Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal were eating in Katz’s. It is the home of Jewish deli staples and ... read more > -

854 7th Avenue Corner of 55th Street New York City NY 10019+1 212 757 2245Carnegie Deli opened in 1937 and is renowned for being the deli where new New Yorkers take their first “authentic” meal. It is a schmaltz-fest, and hoards of tourists head direct to the Carnegie Deli before they even think of hitting the Met. You can feel the love, and understand why it is still thriving - apart from the fact of the supersized sandwiches. Carnegie is not artificial; it is more li ... read more > -

541 Amsterdam Ave (between 86th St & 87th St) New York City NY 10024(212) 724-4707Barney Greengrass has been part of the New York scene since long before yours or my times. This is a cash only establishment and is a popular bar and weekend brunch scene. Barney has celebrated nearly 100 years of epicurean excellence and has made a lot of memories. This shrine to smoked fish is known far and wide as the “Sturgeon Kings”, thank goodness this is not the “sturgeon surgeons”, althoug ... read more > -

162 E 33rd St (between Lexington Ave & 3rd Ave) New York NY 10016(212) 689-9000This Kosher soup and sandwich shop is classic NY, old deli nostalgia at its best, and recently reopened in a quiet side street, sans the walk of Yiddish stars on the pavement in front. Fortunately it is as good as, if not better than its namesake even without the Molly Picon Room. Eat crisp curls of gribenes with the innocence of days gone by when cholesterol and calories didn’t count and loosen y ... read more > -

179 E Houston St (between 2nd Ave & Chrystie St) New York City NY 10002(212) 475-4880The Super Heeb Sandwich is one of the best deli sandwiches in NYC, and the much maligned herring is hand-salted and home-smoked over oak chips to a delicate buttery texture and flavor. Russ & Daughters knows the deli business and so they should, this has been a family owned concern for four generations. They have served slabs of Nova smoked salmon over freshly sliced bagels since 1914, from the sa ... read more > -
