Mile End Delicatessen

The Best Jewish Delis in NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"The Jewish diaspora into the Americas was not limited to the northeastern United States, and Mile End Deli in Boerum Hill is proof of that. The spot is a Montreal-style Jewish deli, meaning that it’s where you should go for Montreal-style bagels—smaller, thinner, and sweeter than their New York counterparts—and more importantly, a smoked meat sandwich. It’s very similar to pastrami, but it’s dry-cured and often leaner, and works wonderfully on rye bread with mustard. Other than that, you’ll find poutine, spicy schnitzel sandwiches, and a pretty tasty version of matzo ball soup here." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
