Jewish deli
Matzo ball spot
A Jewish deli is a delicatessen serving foods associated with Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine—pastrami, corned beef, matzo ball soup, lox and bagels, knishes, pickles.
The institution flourished in New York City among Eastern European Jewish immigrants and became iconic in American food culture: Let's grab sandwiches at the Jewish deli on Houston Street.
Distinguished from Italian delis by the menu and from kosher delis by not necessarily observing Jewish dietary laws.
