At the very edge of New York City you’ll find Liebman’s Deli, the last Jewish deli in the Bronx. Open since 1953, Liebman’s has been serving classic Jewish American staples like matzo ball soup, chopped liver, knishes and, most notably, a classic pastrami sandwich that’s become famous across the five boroughs.
Follow along as we meet Yuval Dekel, who took over the deli in 2002 at the age of 26 after the death of his father. Yuval has worked to preserve the techniques and recipes that have kept Liebman’s Deli an institution for Jewish American food in New York. The pastrami sandwich, Yuval’s best-seller at Liebman’s, is all about two fundamentals: simplicity and tradition.

Sorry but $25 is too much for meat and bread plus tax and tip.
I thought they closed… I drove by and the whole block was gone. Maybe I’m wrong🤷🏾♂️
Great story! He made his dad so proud! Cool video!😊
Stupid me never thought to Google or Yelp to see that they moved, I drove by and saw no buildings in the old location… SO HAPPY THEY STILL GOING STRONG!!!
Now that’s a pastrami sandwich, I’d gladly pay for that, looks like a pound of meat, I make pastrami (not as good as that I’d bet), so I know the work that goes into it.
Those sandwiches look crazy good.
Nice!
Free Palestine
The tribute to his dad was wonderful. So glad to see this deli is still going strong, and that sandwich is tops.
The drummer of Irate owning a deli is so fucking New York
lmao and here i thought Katz was expensive , Liebmans is literally 5 bucks more lol haha
Looks as good as my favourite deli in Montréal. I think I need to plan a road trip!
Dude, is definitely a Metallica fan…just for I have to visit 2nd. It's a ✡️ old skool deli…FUGGHEDBOUTIT
free palestine
Legit. Is Pastrami and Rye the greatest ever sandwich invention? I mean, it’s up there top 5 at a minimum.
The Chinese invented all of these dishes and sandwiches, and like usual, the Jews, copied them.
Ahhh yes… Riverdale and Throggs Neck… those places that are pretty inaccessible to the majority of Bronx residents but the places food influencers love to highlight as Bronx staples lol… but also salute to all of these spots and all parts of the BX ❤. I gotta get up over there to check this out
I thought Pastrami was pork….
sandwich looks delicious and I'm heartened to see these old places thriving. For some reason though, I found this segment incredibly boring and predictable. You don't mess with authentic, traditional deli recipes, but telling their story should have some freshness
Why is it always Hispanic people working in back of NYC restaurants
The manager cannot speak English? WTF? Pass.
Pastrami is nasty.
"jewish" 80% of the staff is mexican
somebody call 🧊🧊🧊🧊
🍉🍉🍉🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
It’s not the last place in NYC that serves Pastrami on Rye – who cares that they’re Jews?
Where can I get that t-shirt?!?!
T H I S ! … Is true Americana cuisine and authentic, wholesome, Jewish cuisine … Don’t ever shut down or close! Where shall we go if you were to do that?
1 sandwich. 10 slices of bread. My family's fed
NO SUBSTITUIONS!
Got Dr. Browns Cel-Ray?
I know it may sound odd. Having lived in NYC for years. Aside from there. Mannys in Chicago is good. The wildcard is Jake’s Deli in Milwaukee. If ever there. Take a moment. It’s incredible.
Hopefully one day I’ll get a chance to travel out to New York and come try that !!!!! 💯💯💯💯
you missed the English mustard
Thanks. Now I am hungry
I'm Drooling
I would ride the train to eat there just to avoid Katz… This place looks so dang good
its not Katz no one cares
isnt riverdale where all the rich white people live that you cant drive through their neighborhood or you'll get stopped by private security?
THATS A PASTRAMI
This place is so good! It’s my go-to comfort food spot. Love to see them highlighting places in the Bronx!
Love it. Thanks for highlighting such a great place
