Whether you are Jewish or not, Jewish delis play a

huge part in the cultural

fabric of New York City

Just like the New York Yankees,

you cannot walk past a corner

without seeing one of these

restaurants warm the hearts of its beloved New Yorkers.

But what makes them so great?

What is so special about them?

For many people,

especially the delis

While some people may disagree with me or even go as far

to fight me on this, below, I have listed the top four Jewish delis in all of New York

Mile End Deli

Found in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Miles End Deli has captivated and allured much of New York with its superlative smoked meat and Montreal-flavored moxie Its innovative take on traditional

dishes has given many people a fresh new approach to their usual Jewish deli experience

Their fresh ingredients and smoked seasoned brisket has opened

my eyes to what Jewish food could be If you are even looking to cater a party, this place provides that service

David’s Brisket House and Deli

Found in the heart of Brooklyn, David’s Brisket House and Deli

is the home of the best

pastrami on rye you will

undoubtedly ever eat

Like a natural foodie, I usually analyze Yelp to see the good and the bad, the ups and the downs of a place But for

David’s Brisket, all you can find

on their page is everything

about its infamous pastrami and rye Having finally tried it,

I can wholeheartedly agree

that this place holds the best pastrami and rye sandwich in all of New York City

The pastrami was moist and tasty Overall presentation was stacked comfortably But what really got me was the rye

bread The freshness of the

bread is something to dye for

Their excellent pastrami

sandwiches, hot dogs, and corned beef are something to experience

at least once in your lifetime As they say on their website, “our

corned beef and pastrami is cured using a slower method, which best flavors the meat.” This overall

process takes up to 30 days to

cure before serving right to the

fans of New York.

Second Ave Deli

The Second Avenue Deli is a

certified kosher delicatessen in Manhattan Currently, the deli is located on 33rd Street, between Lexington Avenue and Third

Avenue in Murry Hill

If you are looking for heritage and culture, I would strongly

advise you to check this place

out

Their specialties include ball soup, corned beef, pastrami, knishes, gefilte fish, and other Jewish cuisines In 2013, Zagat gave it a high rating of 23,

matzoh-ranking it 9th best deli in New York City
