Our guide

Most of New York's famous Jewish delis are not kosher. Katz's and places like it are "Jewish-style" - no pork, no shellfish, but no supervision either, and they say so plainly on their own site. Look for a real hechsher rather than a Jewish-sounding name or menu; certified delis do exist, the 2nd Ave Deli among them.

Our recommendations

  • Base yourself in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, around "770" and Kingston Avenue - the world center of Chabad-Lubavitch, with dozens of kosher options.
  • Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.

Stay in the kosher area of New York
