“I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli
Exploring how American Jews imported traditions, adapted culture, and built community through the experience of food, “I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli reveals how delicatessens became cornerstones of American Jewish food culture during the past century. By sharing the history of deli, the exhibition traces how delis evolved from specialty stores catering to immigrant populations into beloved national institutions. On view will be neon signs, menus, advertisements, fixtures, packaging, and photographs, while lively interactives invite visitors to engage with each other and connect with their own memories of deli.
