I’ll Have What She’s Having: The Jewish Deli

Join The Cummings Centre and the New-York Historical Society for “I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli, a presentation that examines how Jewish immigrants, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe, imported and adapted traditions to create a uniquely American restaurant which will reveal how Jewish delicatessens became a cornerstone of American food culture.

The exhibition explores the food of immigration, the heyday of the deli during the interwar period, delis and Broadway, stories of Holocaust survivors and war refugees who worked in delis, the shifting and shrinking landscapes of delis across the country, and delis in popular culture.
