Definitely come during Hanukkah if you want a fun experience with friends or family. We brought our own Menorah and sat and enjoyed for hours. The latkes cannot be missed!
- ZenFoodsterJanuary 11, 2018This 1954 kosher Jewish deli remains 1 of NYC's oldest greats & serves a lean mean pastrami sandwich! 1 sammie's enough for 2: get xtra side of rye & top w/ their FREE coleslaw to make it extra tasty!
- ZenFoodsterJanuary 11, 2018Happy 4 late-nite drinks+Pelmenis & Pierogies (no pastrami sliders on the menu!) @ UES 2nd Ave Deli’s NEW 2ND FLOOR BAR! Open Sun-Thur 5pm–midnite; Fri-Sat 5pm–2am. Entry on E 75th St (1st/York Ave).
Nicole KimDecember 21, 2014The matzah ball soup is great! Get the half sandwich and half soup combo (same size as the regular soup) and try the challah french toast!
Bonus H.August 22, 2018They have old school stacked hi corned beef, pickes, cole slaw and they even have beer on tap!
Anastasia BezverkhaNovember 5, 2014I love their consommé soup with kasha. 2nd Ave Deli is the closest I can find to Ukrainian food on UES. Plus, helps me when I'm sick. Yummy comfort food. 🍲
John PaterakisJanuary 22, 2016Good kosher food ... but at a price. $50 for soup, sandwich, and a soda (including tax and tip.)
Arlene MurphyOctober 14, 2015Matzah ball soup fair. I enjoyed the turkey and chopped liver sandwich. This is their 2nd location near the Metropolitan Art Museum.
Rod VentiganSeptember 18, 2013I understand it's NYC and the upper eastside as well as it being Glatt Kosher but $35 for Matzo ball soup (no chicken pieces just broth, some small noodles and carrots) and latkes?! Never again.
Brett FrommeNovember 7, 2015Great corned beef sandwiches. The best place for an expensive nosh. The half-sour pickles are awesome.
Benjamin GrønvoldApril 4, 2017Proper Jewish deli on he upper east side. The triple decker are. Huuuuge
Sam GilMay 7, 2016triple decker sandwich. biggest one ive had and preferred to katz. I love it deli meats with mustard
Kevin BJanuary 12, 2014Good dining experience. Pierogi was good, they give you a shot of chocolate soda after the meal, real nice touch.
Adam SiemiginowskiAugust 11, 2013Triple Decker #3 with pastrami, tongue and salami on rye is killer, and huge. You're a champ if you eat it alone.- Very expensive compared to most Jewish delicatessens. Food is good; service is excellent. Prices and portion sizes could be better!
The chopped liver is terrific, order it as an appetizer and pile it on the challah bread that comes to the table...
- Nina LoSchiavoMarch 30, 2014Authentic food but incredibly pricey. For $16.95, I think I need to find another place that makes a mean pastrami on rye...
P CDecember 30, 2012Delicious and worth the extra few bucks. Half soup and sandwich is where it's at
Kosher FoodiesNovember 13, 2012can't get enough health salad. and the meatball appetizer with egg barley is a favorite.
angela gaylorMay 13, 2016How do I count the ways: pickles, matzo ball soup, latkes w/applesauce. Go big and then go home to take a nap!
Pastrami sandwich. Amazing!! The pickles are super sour and also really good!
Extra-lean pastrami, full sours, brown mustard. Never deviate from perfection.
Caroline SchulweisDecember 24, 2014Is there crack in the mushroom and barley? It's addictive! Wear your fat pants.
Emily HuntFebruary 9, 2012Huge portions, expect to take some home... love the complimentary pickles + cabbage on table
Jane MermelNovember 13, 2011The sandwiches are SO big. Instead, do the soup and half sandwich special, it's plenty
Alan WeinkrantzAugust 22, 2011This is the 2nd outpost of this famous NYC institution.... great food. Great people watching. Read more
Kristian KristensenFebruary 27, 2013Really good food. Lousy service. Order takeout and save yourself the pain.
