Absolutely one of our favourite Auckland eateries (& clearly popular among the locals too), this NYC-inspired delicatessen delves into a smorgasbord of Jewish staples, with plenty of North American crowd-pleasers in the mix. The matzo ball soup is tasty & textured; the latkes with lox, creme fraiche & dill are well worth the calories; the bagel with house-made pastrami, Swiss cheese, habanero mustard & pickles is perfectly constructed & proportioned. Have the Montreal poutine for snacking, a lovely pumpkin pie to wrap up, & cocktails infused with Dr Brown's NY Cherry Soda & Cola Nut to wash everything down.
