This evening is the first night of Hanukkah 🕎 and for all who celebrate this holiday, we are highlighting the original location of the 2nd Avenue Deli in the East Village, which was founded in 1954. The late Abe Lebewohl opened this iconic Jewish #delicatessen on the corner of 2nd Avenue at East 10th Street but it sadly closed in 2006 when the rent was raised from $24,000 a month to $33,000 a month.
Abe’s nephews reopened the #deli in 2007 in Midtown on East 33rd Street and it also now has an Upper East Side location serving its iconic sandwiches, chopped liver and matzoh ball soup.
This film photo taken in 2005 appears in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”. • •
