Go KNICKS 🏀

I always said I find it wonderful that these 2 peoples uproot their households, fly 5700+ away , to move on the same block as each other !! #OnlyInAmerica

Just how God intended.

Ow wow—interesting sounding fusion! 😋

Yemenis are among my favorite New Yorkers. They've taught me a smattering of Arabic over the years so I can have short conversations with them.

Love that!

I love this. Yep, I'm a New Yorker.

Yeah!

Big facts!!

(I am aware Islam hasn’t been around that long, but you know what I mean)

I’ve been to a few Yemenite Jewish restaurants. Ordered plenty of soup, jachnun, malawach. Never seen pastrami on the menu.

Comments like that are really not needed anywhere..

Who knows, but specific to David's Brisket House and Moe's Pastrami & Burger, they specifically apprenticed to learn how to make the American Jewish style versions of brisket, pastrami, and corned beef.

Amen 👏👏

Whitman's, "The Glorious Jam." I hope more immigrants follow suit; Jewish delis are disappearing at an alarming rate.

👍

It’s a wonderful thing that people bring their history and food with them to their new lives!

I’m terribly sorry.

And the only objections to this system come from racism. The perfect America is not one the is colour and culture blind, but one that is so aware as to embrace all culture. To truly not limit cuisine to heritage, but technique and respect for the craft. America is a melting pot for a reason.

It's what's great about a lot of big cities but obviously NYC is the best.

Mamdani is a great mayor for this town. He understands multiculturalism.

Food culture is influenced by many factors, including religion, ethnicity and region. Jewish food is greatly influenced by Jewish dietary restriction- no pork, no seafood besides specific kinds of fish, no mixing of meat and dairy, etc.

I miss New York bagels so much!

We lived in Queens for 12 years and I tell anyone that asks is that the absolute best part of the experience is that world culture seeps into you and makes you a more well rounded person.

we'll never be able to fix it until everybody does know the whole true story. That's why they are trying so hard to ban books and suppress free speech. Our voices are our most important weapons. Hatred cannot survive in the full light of truth.

Lebanese also

I can vouch for this

Bless you- thank you!!

My friends that are Muslim used to go to Jewish Delis to get their food here in Vegas. Now that our community has gotten so large, we have several Mediterranean shops that sell Halah meat and products

My dad and my uncles had the best sense of humor…a dry sense of humor, which I adore!!

Yes exactly! They're simultaneously making a point of making the authentic Jewish style meats in flavor and presentation while also providing a quality halal product for their community.

I'm talking about the specific Jewish style and going out of their way to learn it Jewish style corned beef and Irish style aren't the same, for example

I know, but I can't put it out of my mind that hallal and kosher practices are cruel to animals.

@jowolff.bsky.social

Thank you.

New Orleans approves this message.

That is truly what happens when America is a “melting pot.”

The actual diet of Jewish Law which, even to this day, the Essenes obey, is plant-based. The insertion of a Sumerian tale, edited to turn a law-abiding vegan who endeavored to save his fellow animals from a massive flood into a meat eater. Gilgamesh / Noah

True New York - I still remember the first time I went to NY - so many languages in a few blocks - so many different cool people. It was amazing💖🍎🍎

I think the Knicks parade on Thursday will show the world an example of how different races and ethnicities exist side by side in NYC. Maybe that’s why God let the Knicks win the Championship.

It's like the time in east London that I bought Hindu kurta pyjamas from a Sikh shop, then got a free Koran in a shopping centre with a huge Christmas tree in the atrium. Great cities are like this 😁

I seen Muslims, Jewish, atheist and Chritians living and getting along when I lived in California and Texas.So its seems its someone 🙄 is causing the problem ...

THIS is the American Dream. A melting pot with also pastrami.

I mean theologically, their religions are pretty damned similar.

Brilliant

Yemeni man kneeling in the dojo as a chain smoking, overweight deli owner teaches him the secret arts of brining beef.

It’s amazing where you can get, when you start with “I want to learn and grow”

And the country!

Love 💕 this post! Thank you 🙏 NYC for showing the world that getting along is not only possible but hugely rewarding!

Mitch Hedburg had a bit about New York Delis. Too much meat. When asked if he needed anything else, he replied "Yeah, a loaf of bread, and some more people."

Remember many food items were appropriated by the israelí, I mean things like bagels.

Hot and on rye bread with Cole slaw! 😋

Yes! We have similar joys in London where people from one culture have learned to provide food for other ones - Fish and Chips, pizza, bagels. Has anyone here documented it?

Yep. Like there are global issues, but really, we can all agree on a nice brisket.

The best fish and chips in my town is from a shawarma restaurant (it's really just take out, the chairs and tables are for waiting cause its busy). Just fantastic, and increasingly puzzling to the Syrian refugee brothers who run the place. "What, fish and chips again? Why no wrap, brother?"

Mmmmm

Halal and kosher aren’t much different and Both peoples are semitic. Surprised? Shouldn’t be. Abraham’s descendants.

An no. it ISN'T "cultural appropriation". You learn something, you do it.

the absolute best of new york city, greatest and most diverse city in the world

You can get some really great middle and middle eastern food at some Jewish owned restaurants. I need to try those halal restaurants in NY. As Colbert said on his interview. The best sandwiches ever.

Brined beef, best made using a navel cut, with a black peppercorn crust, basically

It still is—don’t let MAGA assholes tell you differently.

I always find can find halal in LA I can eat Not so much near me So I rarely eat meat these days

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is normal in many parts of the world. My favourite Indian restaurant in Vancouver is a culturally afghan family from Iran who really understood the neighbouring Pakistani cuisine that otherwise would have migrated to New Delhi. It’s called Indian food in New Delhi, but same recipes.

I LOVE this post. All of the Germans in “Hogan’s Heroes” were played by Jews

One of our best Thai restaurants in the Coachella Valley is Latino owned

👍

✌️🤙🤘

❤️✊🏼

L'chaim/salaam!

One of my favorite places in nyc is Lenny’s - a Jewish deli owned by Koreans who speak Spanish 🥰🍎

If you leave New York hungry, then you clearly didn't eat enough or venture out to experience the variety of food cooked by some of the best restaurants and hole in wall spots.

Thats what I loved about NY. Every kind of everybody was all over everywhere. My first landlord was Greek. My 2nd was Puerto Rican. Had PR, Italian, black , Ecuadorian and white boyfriends. This black GA girl was shocked to get Jewish holidays off work (and half day Fridays in the summer.)

What? No shawarma?!? 😋

That looks delightful

When I worked on Queens Blvd., a Cambodian couple took over the coffee shop across the street. A few weeks later, when I ordered a toasted bagel, the guy asked: You want schmear with that?

Can you imagine no diversity? All white people? That is like my worst nightmare!!!! Food music fashion everything would be just so fuckin’ boring!!!!

Pastrami is Romanian.

Soooooo love this!!

There is only one race among humans, it is called human beings. There are many ethnicities within that single race.

And this Black woman loves a good pastrami 💙

I only learned about Yemeni coffee is year 25 of living here and 🤯😋

Multiculturalism is the spice & variety of life Anyone who wants to return to salt & pepper with white bread can apply for a spot on one of Elons ships off planet I for one want the curry , the miso, the soy sauce, halal, kosher & jalapeños & all the rest

⚡️

Buddy Hackett,(and many other borscht belt comedians) said often: "Creamcheese has likely killed more Jews than any monster in History"

Correct Kosher can substitute for halal no problem but not vice versa

Every search I do (and I always ignore AI) tells me that the origin of the word "basterma" is either Armenian or Turkish, and that food historians generally place the origin of this specific approach to curing and spices in Armenia.

Now, I'm craving a cornbeef and pastrami sandwich. I forgot to eat before reading this.

My mom used to cook it up when we were kids. It was cheap. It is really tasty once you get over the looks.

In this specific case the people behind David's Brisket House and Moe's Pastrami & Burger specifically learned how to make the American Jewish style implementations in terms of flavor, process, etc.
