About 2nd Ave Deli

2nd Ave Deli began in 1954, when Abe Lebewohl took over a ten-seat luncheonette on East Tenth Street. The first shop closed in 2006 after a dispute with the landlord, and his nephews reopened the deli on East 33rd Street, later adding a second shop on First Avenue on the Upper East Side. The menu is classic Jewish deli: pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, chopped liver and chicken soup. All locations are kosher under the International Kosher Council. It is walk-in only, and a hot pastrami sandwich costs $28.95.
