ZABAR'S A Family Story, with Recipes

Erin Bennett narrates this insider history of a New York institution-- the famed Jewish deli Zabar's--with the right blend of appreciation and conviction. She takes on the tone of a loving family member. The late Lori Zabar, who passed away earlier this year, the granddaughter of immigrant founders Lou and Lilly, shares the past, warts and all. They started the business in 1934 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan; it has thrived and remains under the management of the same family, now in its fourth generation. Often featured in movies and on TV, Zabar's continues to serve its celebrated smoked fish, offer more than a thousand cheeses, and sell a floor of upscale housewares. This engaging audiobook leaves the listener hungry for a toasted bagel with Nova (lox) and a schmear. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2022]
