Eleven City Diner

Description
Owner Brad Rubin scoured the country to research this Jewish deli/diner. His pastrami is tender, fatty and full of flavor; the milk shakes are thick and oversized; matzo balls are enormous, fluffy things; and the brisket is good enough that any grandmother, Jewish or not, would want to claim it. Recent additions to the menu include a vegetarian-friendly tofu scramble and 11 different salads that will satisfy even that picky, meatphobic family member. Does it hold a candle to other Jewish spots in the country? That's hard to say. But Rubin definitely holds his own as the charming/obnoxious host, giving this place enough character to become a fixture in its own right.
