Loeser's Deli
Loeser's Deli was a Jewish deli in the Bronx, New York that closed in 2019, after 60 years, citing a non-compliant gas line.[1][2] Founded in 1960 by Freddy Loeser and Ernest his father, a Holocaust survivor, their origin story is that they used Freddy's Bar Mitzvah money to open the business.[3][4] The corner of West 231st St and Godwin Terrace, was renamed Loeser's Deli Place by the city in honor of the deli.[5] The city found issues with their health regulations and their plumbing, leading to the shutdown of the operation.[6] They were known for knishes and pastrami.[7][8]
