2nd Ave Deli

The onetime East Village institution, now located in Murray Hill, brought its chopped liver, corned beef and pastrami to a second location on the Upper East Side. Brothers Josh and Jeremy Lebewohl, the founder's nephews, stay true to the original with the same menu of Jewish standards (pastrami sandwiches, matzoh ball soup) the delicatessan has been serving since 1954—plus inventive newcomers (pastrami deviled eggs, Manischewitz cocktails)—at this 70-seat outpost with a second-floor barroom.
