Dense, chewy bagels with creative schmears & pastrami
"Open since 2011, Shelsky’s has become a staple in the neighborhood when it comes to pastrami, bagels, lox, pickled fish, and delicatessen eats, a restaurant from Peter Shelsky, of Eleven Madison and Cafe Sabarsky, and Lewis Spada, formerly of Brooklyn’s Fish Tales. A pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel is becoming a classic, and don’t sleep on the lox or pickled herring." - Robert Sietsema
"The modernist bagel shop in Park Slope has all the plainish classics in small dense form, but it sports a few spicy outliers, like its numbing Sichuan peppercorn bagel and chile crisp cream cheese. Indicative of the appetizing shop’s willingness to get creative, the preparation of the bagels here shows extra care: A sourdough starter is employed in the kitchen, actual egg goes into the the egg bagels, and chopped cheese and Taylor ham sandwiches come served on a bagel or a bialy. There’s a second location in Cobble Hill." - Robert Sietsema
"At both locations of Shelsky’s, customers can find traditional potato latkes sold alongside gluten-free, sweet potato, and celery root versions of the dish. You can get larger catered orders, or, also, place smaller individual orders online." - Eater Staff
"Smoked fish, deli meat, and sandwich delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Shelsky’s is where you should be ordering bagels or rye sandwiches in the Park Slope area. Get your sandwich with gravlax, pastrami-smoked salmon, tuna salad, or maybe some pork roll (to appease all of your friends from New Jersey). You can see their full menu and place your pick-up or delivery order here." - Team Infatuation
