Signature Sandwich Pastrami on rye

About

Abe Lebewohl's kosher deli, which lost its East Village corner in 2006 and reopened on East 33rd Street a year later. The pastrami is sliced thin, and pickles and slaw hit the table before you order.

Amenities

Dine-In Seating

Despite the name, this branch sits on East 33rd between Lexington and Third, a short walk from the 33rd Street 6 stop. It's a kosher meat deli, so there's no dairy: don't ask for cheese on anything. The dining room is plain and busy, and servers move fast, so know your order. A second location runs at First Avenue and 75th Street, with a separate evening-only room upstairs.
