2nd Ave Deli

Since Abe Lebewohl opened his first deli on East 10th Street in 1954, 2nd Ave Deli has thrived as one of New York’s most prized institutions. Now located on 33rd in Midtown (as well as on the Upper East Side), the deli is still my favorite in Manhattan for matzo ball soup, corned beef and the other usual suspects.
