2nd Ave Deli - Brentwood

The food here was absolutely amazing. We had soups, pickles and a slaw and everything was great. The service was good and so is the atmosphere. Highly recommend coming here for a good fresh meal. I had the corned beef sandwich, which was the best I’ve ever had.

Don't miss the matzo ball soup and the hot corn beef /pastrami sandwich. This place has an old newyork charm to it. We went here on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait for atleast 20mins. Consider that if you visit it in peak hours. The prices are moderately expensive but there isn't any place in the neighborhood like it. The food makes up for the extra bucks. If you like katz's you have to come here. We liked everything we ordered, the stuffed cabbage was a little too sweet for my taste, but was well cooked. The slaw was absolutely delicious. Good service overall, we had no complaints.

Honestly, this place deserves 10 stars. We stopped in for lunch and everything was absolutely phenomenal. The pastrami sandwich was the best I've ever had, and it's not even close. My wife got an apple strudel, and it tasted like it was made with love. I would legitimately go back to NYC just to eat here again.

I spent my morning at the New York Historical Society. The Jewish Deli exhibit was exceptional. It also sparked a desire to go to the 2nd Avenue Deli. I ordered the Hot Pastrami on Rye. It was incredible. It was moist and delicious. It took me back 30 years ago eating a pastrami sandwich with my now deceased father.

Crazy good. Best matzo ball soup I've ever eaten. Pastrami Sammie too big to eat. Wait staff super friendly. Great customer service. Will be my new fave each time I'm in the city.
