"At Liebman’s in Riverdale, there’s a good chance a regular will sit down next to you, give a nod to their server, and 10 minutes later have a matzo ball soup, hot dog, hot pastrami sandwich, a knish, and a Dr. Brown’s diet black cherry soda on their table. Take after them. Open since 1953, this Bronx deli has great takes on classic Jewish comfort foods, with plenty of old-school New York charm. And if you prefer thin-sliced pastrami, Liebman’s is worth seeking out." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
