This truly was a great addition to such a gloomy day . I also got some traditional potato salad like 5 pounds to share with my friends. It was of course truly delicious, adding lots of sunshine on a rainy day .

They steam the corned beef so the sandwiches are not greasy at all and the wonderful corned beef flavor is front and center. We shared a couple of knishes and our favorite was the potato. It is a nice cozy deli and the restroom is clean. Definitely worth the trip into town! I'm looking forward to trying the potato latkes and Auntie Bev's Noodle Kugel next time we go.

I stop here whenever i get to Boston to visit my daughter. The matzo ball soup is delish & deli…read moresandwiches yummy as any other good deli i've visited!

I'd heard about this spot from people all around ever since moving to Boston and I finally…read moreunderstand why: Zaftigs is the perfect representation of traditional Jewish home style cooking in Boston! The atmosphere is so nostalgic and warming from the moment you step inside, like a true classic neighborhood diner. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly making the experience all the more welcoming. And when it comes to the food itself, it's like a nice big hug to seal the deal. The flavors are tasty and satisfying without being anything over the top. Also, their many has a wide variety of options ranging from familiar diner foods to some unique Jewish specials that you can't find just anywhere. This place is great for a casual bite to eat for really any meal (plus they serve breakfast all day)! I'll definitely be back to try their breakfast too, but I must say their lunch/dinner foods also don't disappoint: the latkes and matzo ball soup are a must!!

Mamaleh's is a great place in the Boston area to grab a bagel…read more The bagels are made really well, with a great texture and flavor in every bite.

I'm also not a huge lover of pickles, but the nice big one accompanying the sandwich was good! Other dishes were the chicken salad on a bagel and a bagel, schmear and veggies. Katie (I think that is her name???) took our order and brought it out as soon as it was ready, as well as checked in with us to see how everything was. We sat along the window for people watching, Washington Square never disappoints! Embarrassed to say it was my first time in, but definitely will not be the last!

Jim's Deli is exactly what many are missing in today's brunch scene: a no nonsense, affordable…read morespace with great service and portions. Went out this last Saturday morning with a friend: we got the Brighton and Veggie omelettes with a couple black coffees and were able to keep the damage below $40. The portions were generous, the food was quality, and we even got those omelettes with a heap of potatoes and toast on the side. How often can you get such quality, service, and price in one these days? I'd highly recommend this place in Boston for a solid brunch spot.

You could get a clean bite every time. Other sandwich ordered was a warm, pressed ham Dijon. A simple sandwich yet perfect and flavorful. Not something to pass on or overlook. Both sandwiches blessed by chef kisses. So good

Arguably the best sandwich in Boston I was not let down by Monica's…read more The line was long on a Sunday but very orderly and went smoothly. The sandwiches themselves are massive and freshly made. The bread is the right amount of soft to crust. All in all I wouldn't change a thing it's definitely a must go.

We stopped in before heading to TD Garden for a Hockey East championship game... I think my wife's…read morecomment was, "this is easily the best italian I've ever had". She was talking about the classic (cold cut) italian - I had to disagree because I thought that the steak italian in my hands was the best sandwich I'd ever had. From the soft bread, with loads of flavor, to the contents... it hit at a 10/10 level. Be prepared for a wait - they don't operate at lightspeed. But, in my opinion, the wait and the steep price is aboslutely worth it!

The Butcherie used to be a fabulous market. Over the past couple of years, it has diminished in…read morefood quality and assortment (homemade food is sometimes no longer made; bread is not fully baked), and has sadly reduced its customer care. Example: a customer recently fell as she was leaving the store. She came back into the store for help. She was sternly told that since she fell outside, she wasn't the store's responsibility. She was not looking for responsibility, she was looking for help, which was then provided by passers-by outside the store. The Butcherie is clearly not guided by traditional Jewish values. Trader Joe's and BJ's sell kosher food; try them. The Butcherie has chosen not to be a quality player in the now non-competitive kosher marketplace.

Sad to stop shopping here but prices are very frequently higher at the register than marked on the shelves. I'm also really sick of being rudely spoken to when I question price discrepancies.
