Bellcrest Kosher Deli, Bellmore

If you're familiar with classic Jewish deli cuisine, your first visit to Bellcrest Kosher Deli won't be out of the ordinary. But it will be enjoyable, according to Explore LI: "No surprises here, only friendly efficient service and good, traditional food." That good, traditional food ranges from corned-beef omelets to franks, stuffed cabbage, and Hungarian goulash.

Of course, Kosher sandwiches are another specialty. The deli's cooks pile slices of rye bread high with pastrami and brisket, challenging the limits of gravity and making Jenga sets everywhere jealous. They then pair these handheld feasts with traditional deli sides such as crisp pickles and matzo ball soup. Those who observe Kosher law can dine with abandon, since the eatery is monitored under strict Rabbinical supervision.
