Jewish delis
Kosher sandwich shops
Jewish delis are delicatessens serving traditional Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine—pastrami, corned beef, matzo ball soup, lox and bagels, knishes, pickles.
The classic Jewish deli emerged in New York City in the late 19th century with Eastern European immigration and became a cultural institution: We grabbed lunch at the Jewish deli on Houston Street.
Many iconic establishments have closed, making survivors objects of nostalgia and pilgrimage.
