Thank you to all who replied to my earlier post. I wasn’t familiar with the area so it was super helpful!
After doing some research on the suggestions, I ended up going to 2nd Ave Deli and getting 2 orders of the 1/2 Soup + 1/2 Sandwich combo (matzo ball soup + pastrami on rye).
Unfortunately my friend had no appetite (too much pain), so she had only taken a sip of the soup before I had to leave.
I was eager to try the food, so on my way to the train, I unwrapped the sandwich. Wow, the pastrami was so moist and had the perfect amount of fat. My only regret was that I had not bought a whole sandwich. 😜
At home, I warmed up the soup and was pleasantly surprised by how light the broth was. Certainly perfect for anyone not feeling well, but it was welcome by me even though I was expecting something more salty. The matzo ball was very fine in texture, and the carrots and noodles had just enough bite to be fresh but not distracting. Might be the best matzo ball soup I’ve ever had.
All in all, an amazing food set to enjoy. 😋
