Oy Alert: Liebmans Deli, Bronx, NY

Oy. The iconic Jewish deli is disappearing. Liebmans in the Bronx used to have almost 100 other Kosher delis competing against them in their borough, today they are one of two who remain. (Thanks New York Times for that fact).

From the street you see hot dogs in the window and salami from the ceiling. Step inside and it's the old world: Formica counters, old school waiters and menus bigger than a small child.

Hot Dogs in the Window

Hanging Meats

Massive Menu

Service is brisk, though the food has stood the test of time. 

Matzoh balls are firm - just how I like them. JB swore by his pastrami and their potato pancakes were impeccable. Huge and impeccable. 

The boys hamburger was 100% Kosher and tasted like a fine steak. Fries were hot and thick. 

Fingers crossed this one doesn't close, too. This is a New York legend to try. No, it's not Katz's or Second Avenue Deli, two of our all-time favorites. It may be better. Try it for yourself.

Until our next Burger,
