2nd Ave Deli // “I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli

What makes the 2nd Ave Deli so special? The New-York Historical Society takes a trip to the Midtown landmark to talk to the owner, managers, workers, and customers about the special magic of the decades-old delicatessen where they "prepare the foods that our mothers and grandmothers made."

This video is part of New-York Historical's exhibition "I'll Have What She's Having": The Jewish Deli, on view at the Museum from Nov 11 through April 2, 2023.

The only trouble is they close so ridiculously early.
The tourist trap, Katz's stays open late.

why would they advertise a deli with the tagline of a different deli?
