Editorial Review

After 47 years, Moe Pancer’s move three blocks south has squeezed some of the atmosphere out of the Jewish deli, but thankfully none of the taste. Burgundy walls hung with ancient reviews act as a backdrop to the spectacle of crabby waitresses and busy meat cutters. Sandwiches with nitrate-free meats are the things to order: rye envelops four to five ounces of lean corned beef; Fresser’s Delight brings half a pound of the customer’s choice of meat on two hot dog buns. Spices cling to the fat rimming juicy pastrami on Silverstein’s rye bread. Classic accompaniments—Strub’s pickles and coleslaw—complete the offerings.
