🚦CHECKPOINT ⚠️

You’ve reached the Chutzpah Deli food checkpoint.

Post your favorite breakfast special in the comments before scrolling.

📸: Not Your Average Benedict: Scrambled eggs atop homemade chili and potato latkes. We kept telling the customer that the eggs were better poached but he insisted scrambled. I mean, we did it and all, but get them poached. (Yes, we have strong opinions on this).

We all make decisions in life. The best one you can make is to stop by and indulge in some of our classic dishes.

(But seriously, poach the damn eggs).

You order a classic house cured corn beef on rye.

You get it on toasted rye and melt the finest imported Swiss cheese.

You’re already cheated on your diet the moment you walked in the door, so you get some potato salad.

You’re now left with a question:

Regular mustard or homemade Chutzpah Mustard.

What would YOU put on?

French Onion Soup. It’s what’s for lunch. 🇫🇷🥣🤤

Thanks for the feature Restaurant Monsters!!

Come get some REAL NY classics!

Mask are required when you come to Chutzpah Deli.

Obviously not at your table, but when you walk in, when you walk out, if you use the restroom, or just check out our desert case … please wear a mask.

This is not political. This is not red or blue. This is not Fox or CNN. This is based solely on science. This is because I care about my guests and my staff. This is because families come in with young children and some of our guests are immune compromised and neither can be vaccinated.

Keep in mind seatbelts reduce the number of deaths in car accidents, but they aren’t 100% full proof. Birth control reduces the number of unplanned pregnancies, but it isn’t 100%. The Covid vaccine…Vaccinated people still get COVID.
So arguing with me that you have been vaccinated therefore you don’t need need a mask, well, first thank you, together we’ll get out from under this pandemic. Second, you’re supposed to get the vaccine. But, third, you still need a mask when visiting Chutzpah. ( Just because you are vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t contract it, carry it, or spread it.)

I promise, I promise I don’t get up every morning and come to the deli looking forward to arguing with people and imposing my will upon them. I’m so tired of these masks too.

I want to thank all the people who stuck with us and got us this far through the pandemic. And what we really want is to serve you great food, make you smile, and keep us all safe while doing it.
