Zev's Deli

By Anonymous (not verified), 16 March, 2026
Zev’s Deli Zev’s Deli is one of my favorite places to visit. When you walk in the door, you smell corned beef and fresh coffee and 100 other great smells. There are shelves everywhere, crammed with all kinds of food. There are bottles of olive oil, jars of pickles, and boxes and boxes of crackers. You can hear Zev yelling out people’s names when their food is ready. My favorite thing to order is cheese blintzes. They taste soft and sweet and warm. Zev puts bright red strawberry sauce on my blintzes. Yum!
