Melonius Thunk Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Many lists include Barney Greengrass, which does of course serve deli sandwiches, Barney Greengrass serve a passable hot corned beef sandwich, pastrami (I believe) and salami sandwich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It should arguably be included. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melonius Thunk Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Well here's a list. Please add and subtract as necessary. (Note: I think some of these are questionable, but I pulled them all from lists of delis. Many lists include Barney Greengrass, which does of course serve deli sandwiches, but I would hate to raise anyone's blood pressure.) Katz's Carnegie 2nd Avenue Sarge's Ben's (various locations) Golden's Mill Basin Liebman's Lansky's Old World Dave's Mile End Jay & Lloyd's Mendy's Ben's Best Essen Fine & Schapiro Berger's Pastrami Queen Artie's Eisenberg's I beleive Lansky's is closed.

Wilfrid Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I never see Benash, opposite Carnegie, included in these lists. Any reason? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Lansky's deleted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I never see Benash, opposite Carnegie, included in these lists. Any reason? Because nobody can believe anyone would open a deli across the street from the Carnegie. It would be like opening a slice joint on the corner of Avenue J and East 15th St. in Brooklyn.

rozrapp Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I don't think Eisenberg's is a deli. To me, it's a coffee shop. Harry & Ida's, perhaps? Though there is no seating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Agree re Eisenberg's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 a jewish diner, serving non kosher food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Harry & Ida's. Deli-inspired, and has a pastrami sandwich, but most of the menu surely isn't deli? I agree about Eisenberg's too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melonius Thunk Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Only 15 proper Jewish delis left! http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21679777-story-outlet-less-shop-cultural-icon-rise-and-fall?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/ed/TheriseandfalloftheJewishdeli I read Merwin's book and found it added nothing to my knowledge of or understanding of the subject. It was a mishmash, badly organized. The kind of book I took to reading in the loo, dipping in and out at leisure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Oh shit. (Poor choice of words there.) That's a disappointment. I'd just ordered it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melonius Thunk Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Happy to lend you mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
