The Best Jewish Delis in NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"Midwood has a sizeable Orthodox Jewish population, so it’s no surprise that one of our favorite Jewish delis is in this South Brooklyn neighborhood. There’s nothing touristy about Essen. It’s a deli that exists to serve its community—and to make a damn fine pastrami sandwich. This isn’t a monstrous, too-big-to-eat affair. The pastrami is juicy, thinly sliced, and piled high between two slices of soft rye bread. The matzo ball soup and latkes are both exemplary, and if you’ve never had a pastrami egg roll, you should try one here." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
