"The story of #Zabars–a #NYC #foodie fixture–is bigger than #bagels: it includes a horrifying #pogrom, a narrow escape to #America, and success in the face of countless setbacks. For #Jewish #American Heritage Month, Noam asks: what does does this story mean to American #Jews, and America at large? In a rare interview, #DavidZabar, a senior executive and third-generation family member, tells us the incredible story of Louis and Lilly #Zabar, how Zabar’s sees itself in the American tapestry, and yes… his bagel order."

One of the things I miss about living on the Upper West Side is shopping at Zabars, where I could get some of the most amazing olives, cheese, coffee, and of course some of the most amazing smoked fish.

While not explicitly kosher, Zabars is a Jewish institution in New York.

Haven’t said anything here, but the last 12 days have been (and continue to be) really fucking (medically) traumatic… my SiL knows how to send a great and comforting get-well gift. #Zabars
