  • Introduction the Place Where Everyone Knows Your Name
    Introduction ThE PlacE WhERE Everyone Knows Your Name s anything more emblematic of New York City than the overstuffed pastrami sandwich on rye? The pickled and smokedI meats sold in storefront Jewish delicatessens starting in the late nineteenth century became part of the heritage of all New Yorkers. But they were, of course, especially important to Jews; the history of the delicatessen is the history of Jews eating themselves into Americans. The skyscraper sandwich became a hallmark of New York. But it also became a potent symbol of affluence, of success, and of the attainment of the Ameri- can Dream. As the slogan for Reuben’s, an iconic delicatessen in the theater district boasted, “From a sandwich to a national institution.” This book traces the rise and fall of the delicatessen in Amer- ican Jewish culture. It traces the trajectory of an icon— a jour- ney that originates in the ancient world and rockets through the Middle Ages to postrevolutionary France, lands briefly on the Lower East Side, gathers steam in the tenements of the outer boroughs, and is catapulted out to the cities and suburbs of America, with a one- time detour into outer space. Along the way, we learn what happens when food takes on an ethnic col- oration and then gradually sheds that ethnic connection when it acculturates into America. 1 Merwin_2p.indd 1 7/10/15 12:35 PM 2 z Introduction We learn how Jews retained the taste and scent of brine— that of the seas that they had crossed in order to get to America and of the oceans that so many settled along, first in New York and later in Miami Beach and L.A.— in the foods that they ate.

  • 1 Interview with Jack Lebewohl, Second Avenue
    Interview with Jack Lebewohl, Second Avenue Deli, 07/27/17 Part I, talking at table with Jonathan Boyarin and Gavriel Bellino [01/03] Bantering: JL: How do you make a flood? EJS: That’s a nice variation on the theme (an old insurance joke). EJS: With your permission, I’m going to ask you a little bit about Yiddish Theater and your brother Abe, about how he fell in love so to speak with the Yiddish Theater. Did that happen first in Europe, in Lemberg (L’viv), or did it happen after the War, because in 1954 he’s opening this Deli on Second Avenue. JL: I’ll tell you. My brother was 8 years old when World War II started. He and my mother are sent to Kazakhstan; and my father was sent to Siberia. So my brother didn’t have an opportunity to taste the Yiddish theater in Lemberg, Lvov. He definitely didn’t have an opportunity to taste the Yiddish theater in Kazakhstan. And post-War, when he got back to Poland and the D.P. camp, there was no Yiddish theater. He scrambled to stay alive; that’s all he really did. When he came to the United States, in 1950, he scrambled to make a living; he definitely didn’t have the time or money to go to the Yiddish Theater. His first exposure to “the Yiddish theater,” was on Second Avenue in 1954 when he opened up the Second Avenue Deli. Then all of a sudden he started to meet people associated with the Yiddish theater, and you got to remember, that the Yiddish theater was passed its heyday and prime.

  • May 15, 2019 Restaurant Guide to New York City Here Are Evaluations
    May 15, 2019 Restaurant Guide to New York City Here are evaluations of restaurants that I’ve tried in New York. You’ll see that the great majority of them receive grades of A or B. I don’t think that this is because I’m an easy grader. Rather, I generally don’t go to a place unless it has received at least a 4.0 from the generally reliable Zagat guide or I’ve gotten a recommendation from a source whose judgment I trust. Still, there are clunkers now and then. Also, I grade on a curve in the sense that a great hamburger joint and a great upscale French restaurant can both merit an A+, even though the dining experiences will be rather different. (Using the jargon of economics, I’m more or less looking at the marginal utility per dollar!) For the most part, these restaurants fall in the mid-price range (for Manhattan), roughly $40 to $60 per person, without drinks. Bon appétit! Restaurant Neighborhood Date Grade Comments 33 Greenwich Greenwich October 2017 A- Southern. Updated versions of southern food were Village outstanding. Try the shrimp and grits and the meatloaf sandwich. The service, while pleasant, was too slow and inattentive. 44& ½ Hell’s Kitchen Hell’s Kitchen November 2006 B+ American.

  • 1. the First Jews to Set Foot in North America Arrived in New York As a Group of 23 in 1654
    1. The first Jews to set foot in North America arrived in New York as a group of 23 in 1654. 2. Congregation Shearith Israel, founded in New York in 1654, was the first synagogue in the colonies. It was the sole purveyor of kosher meat until 1813. 3. By the late 19th century, there were over 5,000 kosher butchers and 1,000 slaughterers in New York. 4. In 1902, the Beef Trust raised the price of kosher meat on the Lower East Side from 12 to 18 cents per pound. After butchers’ boycotts proved ineffectual, 20,000 Lower East Side women stole meat from kosher butcher shops and set it on fire on the streets in protest. The Forward supported their efforts, running the headline “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo, Jewish women!” 5. On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist fire claimed the lives of 146 garment workers, the majority of whom were Jewish immigrants. Reporting on the tragedy, the "Forvitz" wrote that ‘the disaster is too great, to dreadful, to be able to express one’s feelings.” 6. When entertainer Al Jolson came to New York City at age 14, he held jobs in the circus and as a singing waiter. Born to a cantor, Jolson's career took off when he began performing in black face. 7. In 1903, the Lower East Side Chinese and Jewish communities formed an unlikely partnership when Chinese organizers put on a benefit for Jewish victims of the Kishinev pogrom, raising $280. (KISHINEV IS IN RUSSIA) 8. In 1930, there were over 80 pickle vendors in the Lower East Side’s thriving Jewish pickle scene.
