Chef Adam Rosenblum will serve nostalgic deli fare, including smoked pastrami and matzah ball soup alongside an all-day brunch. The cocktail menu, developed by Elmer Mejicanos, will showcase drinks inspired by classic NYC deli flavors and the establishment will now operate with a full liquor license, expanding on the vision initially established at Lilah.
Lilah, known for low-proof and non-alcoholic drinks, will close on May 4, replaced by Super Mensch, a restaurant and cocktail bar inspired by classic Jewish delis.
