Newark Eatery Makes List Of ‘Best Jewish Delis In The US’

NEWARK, NJ — A local favorite in New Jersey was recently named as one of the “Best Jewish Delis in the U.S.”

Hobby's Delicatessen & Restaurant in Newark made the cut of the nation’s 20 best Jewish delis, according to TastingTable.com. See the full list here.

According to TastingTable.com, here’s why Hobby’s made the cut:

“Run by brothers Marc and Michael Brummers, Hobby's Deli was opened by their father, Sam Brummer and has been the pride of the Brummer family since 1962. The well-loved chopped liver is a mainstay on the menu and a secret family recipe. This old-school Jewish deli sits in Newark, New Jersey. Hobby's understated style and no-holds-bar food make it a culinary legend within U.S. Jewish deli culture and, most importantly, a beloved local go-to. This is a proper old-fashioned Jewish deli, curing its corned beef in 50-gallon vats before slicing and generously stacking onto rye.”

It's good timing for Hobby's, which recently reopened its doors to the public for takeout orders after a two-year pandemic hiatus. Read More: Hobby's Deli In Newark Reopens After 2-Year Pandemic Break
