Whether it’s a
pastrami on rye or
a bagel with a schmear, America’s
Great Delis, by Sheryll Bellman,
explores the history and recipes of the country’s most
beloved delis. From
New York’s Lower East Side to Detroit and all points west,
the delicatessen

In New York,
as
in much of America, lunch is synonymous with deli. Perfected in the
early
twentieth century by Eastern European Jewish immigrants, the deli,
short
for delicatessen, quickly won our hearts — and
stomachs!
