KLEINSKY’S DELICATESSEN (CITY BOWL)

BEST FOR An affordable relaxed lunch. FOOD There’s a short breakfast selection with challah French toast, latke Benedict and pastrami hash with eggs. Kleinsky’s is known for its bagels: you could have pastrami with mustard and pickles or a play on a California roll with smoked salmon, wasabi cream cheese, avo and pickled ginger. Or keep it simple with a schmear such as spring onion and chives or sundried tomato and olive. The hot dogs are a revelation: a beef frankfurter comes cradled by a heavenly hot pretzel roll. Toppings include plays on bánh mì and a Reuben sandwich. Finish with New York cheesecake or potato latkes with apple sauce and sour cream. DRINKS A handful of beers, wines, or have a Bloody Mary or freshly squeezed juice. SERVICE Could be a bit faster, but staff are friendly. AMBIENCE This is a casual hipster favourite with high chairs and tables inside and benches in the courtyard. (LST)
