Liebman's Deli is a Jewish deli in Riverdale, New York and is the last-standing kosher deli in the Bronx.[1][2] It was one of hundreds of kosher delis in the Bronx when it opened, but now is the sole representative of that cuisine in the borough.[3][4] Liebman's was founded in 1953 by Joe Liebman and sold to Joseph Dekel in 1980.[5] Yuval Dekel, his son, took over in 2002 when his father passed away.[6] Dekel was previously a heavy metal drummer in a band, but now makes the pastrami and supervises the operation, along with his wife whom he met at the restaurant and now works there.[7] The restaurant has opened a second location in Ardsley, New York.[8][9][10][11][12] Liebman's is rated by Zagat and Michelin Guide.[13][14][15] It was covered by Anthony Bourdain for Parts Unknown[16] Liebman's is noted for their matzo ball soup and house-made pastrami, and Jewish delicacies such as stuffed derma, knishes, pickles, as well as kosher wine.[17][18][19][20][21] It is frequented by Jewish New York Mets player Harrison Bader who grew up in nearby Bronxville, New York.[22]
