NYC Eastern European Jewish cuisine
Background - Cuisine usually associated with New York City stems from its large and influential community of Eastern European Jews and their descendents. The world famous New York institution of the "Delicatessen", commonly referred to as a "Deli", was originally an institution of the city's Jewry. Much of New York City's Jewish fare has become popular around the globe, especially bagels. A New York style bagel is a large, donut-shaped loaf of bread with a slightly crispy outer core and a thoroughly savory and soft inside. Bagels are often topped with poppy or sesame seeds (other traditional flavors include onion, garlic, and salt), and traditionally eaten with cream cheese and/or smoked salmon (lox). Many municipalities in the international arena now have their own, domesticated version of the bagel.
