Zabar's

"Makes a pleasingly crunchy latke with nicely textured potato shreds. The flavors and salt are well balanced." - Nick Mancall-Bitel

"A famed gourmet market on the Upper West Side, known for its deli foods and an important location in 'You've Got Mail'."

"This gourmet deli and grocer has been in the same location for over 85 years. They sell high-quality cheese, meats, and hundreds of packages of chocolate babka daily, but the real star of Zabar’s is their smoked fish. Eat a bagel with whitefish or nova from their takeout and cafe area on the corner of 80th and Broadway." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman

"Zabar's is definitely a neighborhood if not NYC institution. It's a foodie destination housing some of the best smoked fish, prepared foods, coffee's and more. On any given day, rub shoulders with UWS locals buying gourmet breads, bagels, cheeses and prepared foods. Some of my favorite things to get there are the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee by the pound and their delicious homemade soups. For an added bonus, check out the upstairs area for a massive selection of kitchen goods at great prices! This is definitely worth a trip to the UWS on it's own." - Ken Pao
