Oy gevalt! The Second Avenue Deli no longer on Second Avenue? One of a dying breed of delis formerly found throughout the East Village and Lower East Side, Abe and Jack Lebewohl’s temple of gefilte fish and chopped liver was a living legend in the former Yiddish Theater zone of lower Second Avenue.
For a time the infamous pornographer Al Goldstein was waiting tables here, a place where the waitresses would give you plenty of oy vey with your food. Now the place has been transformed into a Chase, leaving not even a shadow of its former self.
Fortunately, the deli’s been relocated to Murray Hill, where you can get your fill of matzo ball soup, schmaltz, herring, pastrami and zillions of other beloved dishes.
2nd Ave Deli – An Authentic Jewish Culinary Experience
The 2nd Ave Deli has been an internationally renowned Gotham landmark for more than half a century. Over the years, its founder, Abe Lebewohl, provided the best Jewish fare in town, transforming his tiny ten-seat Village eatery into a New York institution.
The late Abe Lebewohl was a great restaurateur in the showman tradition and a well-known and much-loved New York personality.
The famous 2nd Ave Deli attracted hundreds of celebrity patrons, drawn by the thick deli sandwiches piled high with expertly prepared meat, the greatest chopped liver, delicious chicken soup and other Jewish delicacies that are just like Bubbie’s – but better.
At our place or yours via our take-out and catering menus, you’ll see why 2nd Ave Deli is the favorite of so many who seek a hearty, filling, and soul satisfying meal.
