Over 90 years ago, Grandpa Hugo opened a kosher meat factory on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, which supplied kosher house-cured deli meats to hundreds of kosher delis and shops in the Tri-State Area for decades. In the 1980s, Hugo’s grandson Wally Goetz took all his grandfather’s recipes and opened Lido Kosher Deli on Long Island, and recently his son Russ joined the family business, making him one of just a few fourth-generation kosher deli men in America.
The secret to Lido’s success? Using only top-quality ingredients and adhering to the philosophy that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Sandwiches piled high with corned beef and pastrami, homemade knishes, matzo ball soup, latkes, stuffed cabbage… all the Jewish deli classics are here, and they’re all a taste of Goetz family history.
