My favorite diner in the neighborhood. Having an early morning omelet here is the best and very good value. The chef Leo also makes the best tuna melt. All fresh and made to order on the spot; no microwaved nonsense.
Small space but quick service with great classics.
Ordered a whitefish sandwich and cup of mushroom barley to go because it was a busy Saturday afternoon - order was ready in no time at all, even though every seat was filled.
Whitefish sandwich was perfect size - there was an appropriate bread to filling ratio. Pickle was a nice plus! Also not your typical dill pickle- had more of a softer flavor to it, versus acidic/sharp. Soup was pretty standard really but hit the spot. Not too thin or thick of a base.
Personally enjoyed the flavors and didn't find them lacking. Definitely will come back to try some of their other items!
One of my favourite places to eat in Manhattan. Food can be hit or miss (my matzo brei was a little bland last time) but the amazing staff and friendly, comfortable vibe more than make up for that. Blintzes and knishes are also a highlight and the fact that almost everything is veg (aside from some fish dishes) is a huge bonus.
Nice location and classic deli vibes. Had the challah sandwiches and these were great. Tuna melt was fantastic. Also had the fried flounder but this was a bit tasteless. Also had the matzo ball soup and this was really not good in our opinion - didn’t like the flavours at all. Perhaps however it was authentic/good but just not to my palate!
I want to come here for everyday and try all their food. Highlights are the matzo ball soup, cheese blintz, and white fish sandwich. I really want to try the pierogis and borscht. Not much room, so highly recommend getting in early on a weekday.
This is a gem in the east village! Homey, comfort and simple food. Made to perfection, no need for anything fancy as it was perfectly simple and delicious. Definitely worth a try!
Incredible value and hearty food! This hole in the wall diner has that classic feel to it (been around for over 70 years so makes sense) and super friendly service. Food is made fresh in front of your eyes the moment you order. We got the B&H Special Omelette and the Challah French toast - both generous servings too. The prices simply don’t reflect how good this place is!
Find got here. Went for some soup. Mushroom barley. Very disappointed. I've had better at surprising places compared to what this placs is. Wasn't thick and bland. I sat at counter and watched him make eggs. They looked very good and the potatoes looked great
Been wanting to try this place for a while. Matzo ball soup was good. Very cozy NYC restaurant where you couldn't get to the bathroom without bumping into everyone in the restaurant.
This is THE spot for blintzes, pierogis, and Jewish staples. They’re a vegetarian spot with a ton of classics and some unique options too. The food is so delicious (their blintzes are an obsession of mine) and the restaurant itself has perfect old school charm. The space is small, the cook at the behind the counter flat top grill can reach the counter seating and even the tables to hand you your food. It’s a no frills spot that continues to serve up amazing food with really great people working there.
This place screams authenticity and there really isn't a better word for it. You are shoulder to shoulder with all the locals who know about this gem and it's always so crowded for good reason.
The wait stuff is incredibly friendly and QUICK. The prices are almost too good to be true, and the portions are more than filling. Everything tastes fresh and I highly recommend the juices.
Have come here for years. It’s not only delicious, it a piece of NYC history. This place is perfect. The food, the service, the space. It is classic and I hope it always stays the same. Definitely bring your friends and rent it out for a small party, will be fun!! Their blintzes and chocolate cake were wonderful.
Our server whom i can only assume as being the owner was very funny and accomodating. The good quality food was not reflective of the cheap price point and worth the trip from anywhere. A genuine NYC breakfast experience in the heart of Manhattan.
Today I had, with my favorites first
Cheese blintz - amazing. I forgot to ask what kind of cheese it is.
Latke - one of my favorites in NYC, it's more similar to the ones made in my home growing up
Blueberry blintz - very good
Tuna melt - good, the bread was buttery and flavorful. I don't quite get the raving I saw in other reviews.
Got a bowl of matzah ball soup, $6.50. Felt comforting even on this hot day. Gentle soup with dill flavor and soft noodles. 7.5/10.
This is a special place with nice fun people dishing out some yummy food and you will love the big portions. You go here for the food and the people, but avoid it if you are looking for perfection. It is not for the snooty types. If I lived close, I would go daily.
I don’t give B&H five stars because it rivals Le Bernardin in the high French culinary arts, but because it delivers superb milichg (kosher dairy) dishes. Try the latkes, the matzo all soup, but do not leave without trying the blintzes! To die for! See the before and after blueberry and cheese blintzes pictures below. My grandmothers are kvelling that I’m reviewing this.
ust a fantasist, historical, homey spot. it’s been around for nearly 85 years. I always come here for their white fish sandwiches, they are absolutely massive, and the bread is so good! I love their soups and pierogies, and they’re fresh pressed juices really good and not overpriced. And the staff are some of the kindest people.
