Sliced Tongue
93%Read ReviewsHeat & Eat
Sliced tongue is the old-school deli order that separates the initiated from the uninitiated — tender, subtly beefy, the cut that old-time kosher delis served before the neighborhood changed and the delis closed. Liebman’s Kosher Deli in Riverdale is the last kosher deli left in the Bronx, and the tongue is still on the menu the same way it was when Joe Liebman opened in 1953; Yuval Dekel, who has run the 235th Street institution since 2002, keeps the old cuts on the menu as a point of honor.

The Bronx’s Last Standing Kosher Deli
When Joseph Liebman opened his restaurant in 1953, there were over 100 Jewish delis in the Bronx. Today, Liebman’s is the only one standing. It’s not only a testament to the quality of their food, but also to the care and commitment of the people preparing. In 1980, Joseph Dekel, a native Israeli, bought the kosher deli and went great lengths to preserve Liebman’s old recipes. When he passed away in 2002, his son Yuval took over. Then a drummer in a heavy-metal band, he soon became a fixture at Liebman’s—and still is.
For too many people, stepping into Liebman’s is a time warp—from its simple neon sign, to the no frills Formica tabletops and padded booths, this deli is a genuine taste of old New York.
