"...the #deli as we know it was born.
One #diaspora that took this concept and ran with it was #European #Jews, especially in #NewYorkCity. Today, the #NewYork-style #Jewish deli –- with its signatures of #pastrami, #cornedbeef, #latkes, #matzoballs, #chickensoup, and all the tasty, nourishing rest –- is a staple of comfort #food in this country, enjoyed by folks from all backgrounds everywhere. Let's dig into some of the finest Jewish #delis nationwide."

Archetypal American ‘secular Jewish space’ gains due regard
Cate Thurston remembers the moment her team settled on what to call an exhibition about #Jewish #delis in America.
“We kind of just said it as a joke,” the co-curator says. We all had a laugh. And then we thought, wait, no, we could call it that!”
The title: "I’ll Have What She’s Having.
Comedy fans will recognise it as the punchline from arguably the most famous deli scene in film history: Meg Ryan faking an orgasm in front of Billy Crystal, provoking wide-eyed stares from patrons and staff. An older woman, played by director Rob Reiner’s mother, remarks to a waitress: “I’ll have what she’s having.”
😄The clip is among several playing in a loop in the exhibition, organised by the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, which opened this week at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. 👀
It is a celebration of the delicatessen – a German word that loosely translates to “a place to find delicious things to eat”
– as the vernacular of #Ashkenazi Jewish life

“'I’ll Have What She’s Having': The Jewish Deli" is an exhibit at the New York Historical Society Museum in NYC until April 2.
The website has a video and some highlights from the exhibit. Looking at it makes me hungry for a pastrami on rye and a Dr. Brown's cream soda. 😋

Our special exhibition examines how Jewish immigrants, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe, imported and adapted traditions to create a uniquely American restaurant and reveals how Jewish delicatessens became a cornerstone of American food culture.
Rainbow cookies, mandelbrot, black-and-white cookies, and more. Delis may be temples of meat and mustards, but nobody can resist pocketing a dessert. Our look at the delicious world of deli desserts. https://momentmag.com/just-deli-desserts/

Like much of the Jewish culinary canon, modern Jewish pastries were influenced by the world around them. The familiar cookies we see now in Jewish-style delicatessens were, in many cases, riffs on the desserts of various immigrant groups comingling with Jews in America...
Rawan Muqaddas designs Sloane Street Deli to be a "classic neighbourhood spot"
Green tiles and bentwood chairs feature inside this deli and restaurant in central London, which design studio Rawan Muqaddas has renovated to complement its local surroundings.
Situated along an affluent street in Belgravia, Sloane Street Deli incorporates a barista bar, take-away-deli counter and an eatery that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Sloane Street Deli is situated in an affluent London neighbourhood
Rawan Muqaddas, founder of eponymous design studio Rawan Muqaddas, aimed to create a comfortable place to dine that captured the spirit of the local neighbourhood.
At the same time, she hoped to inject some of her own Middle Eastern flair into the restaurant to give it a homely atmosphere.
Rawan Maqaan has renovated a deli into a vintage style eatery
"The concept behind Sloane Street Deli was to build on a classic neighbourhood spot that's also an extension of one's home," Muqaddas told Dezeen.
"A spot where you can come in and spend five minutes or 50, in a space that is inviting, comfortable and warm, with the customer's comfort at heart."
A curved serving counter is positioned at the deli's entrance
Upon entering the deli customers are greeted by a green-tiled deli counter serving baked goods and fresh pastries.
It is clad in Arcaico tiles, a Japanese tile that Muqaddas wrapped one at a time around the curved counter.
Rattan furnishing and bentwood chairs add to the deli's retro feel
"The focus was on the layering of textures and an earthy colour palette, the centre being the Japanese handmade single tiles," Muqaddas explained.
"As customer journey was key, I introduced the curvature around the counters, followed by the curvature of the banquette to optimise the flow of the customer."
Green tiles contrast terracotta-coloured seats
The same tiles can be seen on the spice shelf and the adjacent barista counter where customers can purchase hot drinks. Here, a retro, cream-coloured coffee machine perches on another counter in front of large windows.
Other vintage elements throughout the eatery which is mainly spread over the ground floor level, include cushioned diner-style booth seating, rattan furnishing, bentwood chairs and shiny brass accents.
The kitchen, prep room and restrooms have been renovated in a similar fashion and are all located downstairs in the basement.

Muqaddas employed a mix of creamy green tones and earthy terracotta – colours that are often associated with Middle Eastern interiors to flesh out the rest of the space.
Elsewhere, splashes of pale pink can be seen on the leather and fabric seats as well as on the awnings that hang outside.
The space is framed by large windows
To further tie the deli to the neighbourhood, the studio wanted to preserve as many elements of the original deli as possible, including the facade, interior walls and flooring.
It refurbished some of the existing bistro tables and kept the original white mouldings and marble tabletops.
The kitchen and customer restrooms are located downstairs
Rawan Muqaddas is not the only studio to give a modern eatery a retro look. Cafe Banacado, an all-day breakfast cafe in Stockholm by architecture studio ASKA has a colour palette of muted yellows, brown and cream hues.
Parisian design studio Lizée-Hugot added low-slung lacquered seating and wooden panels to Abstinence, a Parisian eatery that recalls traditional French brasseries.
