Matzo Ball Soup (Kosher)

This “Jewish Penicillin” is the real deal! Heat up the rich chicken consomme, drop in the handmade matzo balls, noodles, and carrots, grab a spoon, and dig into a big bowl of the soup that’s been comforting New Yorkers for decades.

One of America’s most renowned and beloved Jewish delis, the 2nd Ave Deli has been a New York icon since its founding by Abe Lebewohl as a tiny 10-seat East Village lunch counter in 1954. A much-loved New York personality, Abe got his start as a Coney Island soda jerk. He spent years learning the ropes before opening his deli, and thanks to his hard work it grew to become a New York institution, attracting locals, tourists, celebrities, and everyone in-between for what many believe to be the city’s best pastrami & corned beef sandwiches, matzoh ball soup, and more deli classics. Today the Certified Kosher deli is run by Abe’s nephews Josh and Jeremy, who are keeping Abe’s dream – and his beloved recipes – alive.
