Zaftigs - Review - Brookline - Boston - The Infatuation
"Boston transplants love to complain that this city just isn’t New York. We know. And we like it that way. But sometimes even the most dyed-in-the-wool Beantown residents get a hankering for NYC deli-style lox bagels or pastrami on rye, and that’s where Zaftigs comes in. No, Meg Ryan never filmed a scene here, but the food is top notch and perfect for a meatier brunch. The New Yorker sandwich, stacked with hot pastrami and corned beef, is heftier than a Fens goose. And the latkes with sour cream and lox are the tallest, fluffiest, crispiest we’ve ever encountered. But the best thing about this classic Brookline establishment is that their breakfast and lunch menus are served all day, every day." - Lala Thaddeus
