New York City corned beef sandwiches tell salty tale of American immigrant success
Fox News
The corned beef sandwiches found in New York City's delis tell the tale of immigrant success while becoming an iconic taste of America's largest city.
What emerged from the struggle was an oversized all-American culinary delicacy as big, bold and ambitious as the dreams of the immigrants who built the boundless nation. "Delis became a home away from home if people didn't want to go to shul or the synagogue." "This place is a time capsule and this food is a time capsule. We embrace that and we love it." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The Jewish delis of New York City, including Katz’s Delicatessen, Second Avenue Deli and Sarge’s Delicatessen and Diner, among others, stand today as pop-culture icons and bucket-list destinations for food lovers from around the world seeking a true taste of America.
