The Polish Deli That Makes Me Nostalgic for Old Ridgewood
"Seneca Garden II (did I mention the other Seneca Garden is an under-15-minute walk away?) is locally beloved for its pierogi, and the boiled meat and cheese ones are the best. The spices are subtle, and the dough is thick but never rigid, achieving that covetable bounce and bend that I want with my dumplings. The side dishes steal the show: Opt for one of the many sauerkraut sides, or the simmered tomato butter beans."
"As Ridgewood continues to gentrify,neighborhood joints like this one offering affordable fare are going to become even more precious. The pierogi tend to sell out, so make it there before 1 p.m. If you're popping in during the holiday season, don't miss the chruściki or angel wings at the register; they're a delight of deep-fried dough, twisted into arabesque (or angelic) forms and dusted with powdered sugar."
Seneca Garden II is a Polish deli known for its boiled meat and cheese pierogi, which feature subtle spices and thick, flexible dough. The deli maintains a quiet, low-key atmosphere where staff box up orders and shoppers browse a well-stocked Slavic pantry. Side dishes such as various sauerkrauts and simmered tomato butter beans stand out, and a large tub of pickles is usually available. Lunch plates include a meat, a side, and a salad, and prices remain affordable as Ridgewood gentrifies. Pierogi often sell out before 1 p.m., and chruściki are popular during the holidays.
