Ben’s Kosher Deli and The Workman’s Circle Collaborate for a Night Filled with Jewish History, New York Culture and Delicious Food

New York City is known for many things; an epic skyline, Times Square, “dirty water dogs,” Broadway musicals, the Yankees, and countless other iconic people, places and things. But, what many do not know is that New York City is also home to the first-ever Jewish American deli, which opened in 1888. To celebrate Jewish history and culture, Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers is joining The Workmen’s Circle’s “Taste of Jewish Culture” series to host a “Talk and Taste the History” event on Thursday, January 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This event will take place at Ben’s of Manhattan, located at 209 West 38th Street.

For $35 a person, guests will be treated to a sampling of traditional Jewish cuisine from Eastern Europe, including chicken in a pot, knishes, stuffed cabbage and brisket. They will also hear from Ben’s area supervisor, Hal Simon, about the background and origins of these meals and the history of Jewish delis in New York.

“I think it’s great that The Workmen’s Circle is running this series, and I am very happy that Ben’s can be one of the locations,” says Mr. Simon. “Jewish delis are such an integral part of the city’s history and I look forward to teaching New Yorkers about the vast culture behind our foods.”

New Year, New Ben’s Menu

With a New Year, comes a new Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen, Restaurant and Caterers menu. Beginning January 2, 2018, all Ben’s locations will debut the company’s Specialty Menu, featuring the most popular items from Ben’s’ previous Burger, Top’t Dogs and Panini Menus.  Perfect for meat lovers, this new, and permanent, menu will consist of Hebrew National brand hot dogs; half-pound fresh, never frozen, USDA Kosher ground beef burgers; and panini made with only the best cuts of meat.  The new menu offers a modern spin on Jewish American deli classics, such as pastrami, corned beef and challah bread, among others.

With prices ranging from $13.99 to $17.99, this new, in-house only staple menu will be available for lunch and dinner at all seven Ben’s locations, including on Long Island and in New York City, Westchester County and Boca Raton, Florida.

Whether you’re in the mood for a burger topped with pastrami or brisket, a hot dog smothered with beans and onions, or a panini in the style of a classic sandwich, the new Ben’s Specialty Menu has something for every meat lover. Each sandwich includes a bottomless fountain soda and the choice between a side of French fries, knish or small deli salad. For those in search of non-beef options, all burgers can be substituted for a veggie (no charge) or a lean ground turkey burger (for $1).

Detailed descriptions of each menu item can be found below:

Top’t Dogs ($13.99): featuring Hebrew National Kosher hot dogs
Best of Boston: a generous portion of baked beans and crispy onion straws, on a brioche bun.

California: a generous portion of Israeli salad and sliced avocado

Sliders: two mini burgers on challah rolls, topped with crispy onions and horseradish sauce

The Rachel: a mound of pastrami, sauerkraut and Russian dressing on pressed seeded rye bread

The Reuben: corned beef, loaded with sauerkraut and Russian dressing on pressed seeded rye bread

Grilled Chicken: plump, fresh and tender grilled chicken, topped with lettuce, sweet red pepper and chipotle dressing, on pressed French bread
The Original Brisket: old-fashioned, slow-simmered brisket, with all the right seasonings, covered in caramelized onions and fresh horseradish on a pressed brioche roll

Steak Bites: sliced steak and grilled onions on pressed French bread, slathered with Ben’s homemade pesto sauce

All Top’t Dogs can be upgraded a homemade pretzel bun for just 99 cents. Fried onions or grilled mushrooms can be added to any burger for just 99 cents each.

Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen: Your Hanukkah Headquarters

For many families, busy schedules filled with company parties, school concerts and festive parades can often get in the way of celebrating with loved ones during the holiday season. Holidays are meant to be spent with loved ones but finding a time that works for everyone isn’t easy; Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers is helping to keep the tradition alive with simple and delicious Hanukkah catering options that eliminate the time and hassle of food preparation and cleanup.

Throughout December, Ben’s is once again offering its Catered Hanukkah Dinner for Six. This classic Ben’s catering package is ideal for patrons who are seeking to preserve the tradition of a Hanukkah gathering, but do not have the time to purchase raw ingredients and prepare a meal. Everyone knows the heart of the meal starts with the meat, so Ben’s Catered Hanukkah Dinner ($129.99) includes three Whole Chickens with stuffing, or 2.5 pounds of Brisket (for an additional $10). Also included are two quarts of Ben’s famous Chicken Noodle soup, one-pound of rye bread, two-dozen mini latkes with applesauce and a small relish tray, as well as a choice between one-quart of Ben’s famous coleslaw, health salad or cucumber salad.

In addition to the Catered Dinner for Six, Ben’s is also throwing its annual “Lotsa Latkes” celebration, which allows people, Jewish or not, to connect to the story of Hanukkah. Hanukkah celebrates the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days when the Maccabees rededicated the holy Temple in Jerusalem after their victory over the Syrian-Greeks. Fried foods like potato pancakes are traditional Hanukkah treats because they are cooked in oil and remind us of the miracle of the holiday.

As part of Ben’s “Lotsa Latkes” celebration, any customer who purchases three-dozen latkes will receive one-dozen free, as well as 25 percent off each additional dozen. This discount offer is only available from December 8 to 24. To top it off, from December 12 to 20, three mouth-watering flavors —sweet potato, zucchini and spinach – will be regularly available. Ben’s latkes are great for school-functions, family gatherings, office luncheons and more. Flavored options will be only available in-stores starting December 12, but can be made upon request with advance orders.

Lastly, Ben’s takeout counter is also ideal for picking up last-minute holiday items, with a variety of options for everything from the main course to soups, sides, salads or desserts.

Walk-ins are always welcome.

Ben’s of Bayside Thriving After Renovation

Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterer’s completely renovated its Bayside, Queens location this past Spring. From new carpets to a refurbished kitchen and bathrooms, all the way up to painting the ceiling, Ben’s of Bayside left nothing untouched. But, the changes weren’t just physical alterations, the store also got a new leader.  Longtime Ben’s employee, David Czegledi, transferred from his post as General Manager of the Manhattan location to oversee the day-to-day operations in Bayside.

“I moved to Bayside for a few reasons,” Mr. Czegledi states. “Growing up in an orthodox environment, going to Yeshiva, I can relate to the customers here. I will be able to give guests the heimesha feeling they are looking for and expect. We also hope to develop our tour group program, which is thriving in Manhattan. Given Bayside’s proximity to many area attractions, we want to encourage senior and student groups to utilize the Bayside location as a lunch or dinner stop on their tours.”

Ben’s of Bayside, with the help of NYC & Company and the Queen’s Chamber of Commerce, is trying to increase the desire of tour groups to spend time in Queens County, not just Manhattan.

“With Queens’ diverse culture, large restaurant scene and roster of craft breweries, we have a lot to offer these tour groups,” adds Mr. Czegledi. “So, we are hoping more people will come out and enjoy a nice Kosher Pastrami sandwich while they see Queens.”.

Ben’s of Bayside also offers a private party room for quests to hold events such as birthdays, networking events, luncheons, award ceremonies, bar/bat mitzvahs, and more. The party room can accommodate up to 80 people, or guests can purchase a full buyout of the restaurant for larger events. Prices for catered lunch start at $18.99 per person and catered complete dinners start at $23.99 per person.

“Our parties are very easy to plan, and we take care of everything to make sure it’s as easy as possible for our guests,” Mr. Czegledi continues. “We serve beer and wine, and we offer audio/visual aids, such as speakers, podium, microphone, easel – whatever is needed for a successful meeting or party.”

“Now that all the renovations are complete, we are very excited to see what David can do with Bayside,” states Ronnie Dragoon, Owner and Founder of Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant and Caterers. “His customer service and marketing skills make him perfect to watch over this location, and I know that he will take Ben’s of Bayside to the next level.”

New Look, New Menu, Same Great BrickHouse Brewery

Patchogue, New York – After 21 years as a pub, BrickHouse Brewery and Restaurant (BHB) is transitioning its bar-style offerings to include a true dining experience that is sure to please longtime guests, families and millennials alike. The culinary brainchild of BHB’s new executive chef Phil Capobianco, this innovative new menu will feature several Asian-Creole-fusion seafood dishes.

Among the most idyllic of the new dishes is the Sesame Tuna Napoleon, which features rare sesame tuna layered between fried wontons and Asian slaw, in a similar fashion to a classic Napoleon dessert. To finish, the dish is tossed in a Japanese wasabi ouzo vinaigrette. Also on the menu is the new Asian Shrimp wrap, which includes tender cuts of shrimp in lettuce cups, topped with Thai Cole slaw and Thai peanut sauce. A new “Beer Battered” starters section has also been added, with items such as fried pickles, garlic parmesan chicken wings and beer battered bacon.

In an effort to collectively change its feel, BHB recently remodeled its main dining area with all new modern décor, including authentic gas lanterns made in New Orleans. BHB also upgraded its outdoor seating area, which is completely dog-friendly.

Originally built in the mid-1800s as a dry goods store, BHB’s location is the oldest commercial building in Patchogue. It also is the longest-running microbrewery on Long Island. As an early leader in the microbrew industry, BHB’s mission is to create one-of-a-kind beers that are strictly made and sold in the region, rather than rely on mass produced beers from larger national breweries. BHB serves true craft beers.

Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Celebrates 45 Years in the Pastrami Business

Autumn 1972 was an exciting one. President Richard Nixon was running for his second term. The Oakland Athletics were in a close battle against the Cincinnati Reds for the World Series pennant. And, Ronnie Dragoon, a witty New Yorker from Queens, was just opening the doors to his very first Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers. Now, in celebration of 45 years as one of New York’s best Kosher delis, Ben’s is offering a $19.72 lunch and dinner special, from October 9 through October 15.

To honor its loyal customers, Ben’s is offering “double points” to all Ben’s Friends Preferred Patron customers throughout the anniversary week. Members who dine in at any of Ben’s seven locations will be treated to double points.

After attending Brooklyn College for Political Science, and a subsequent tour as a Vista Volunteer in Indiana, Mr. Dragoon returned to New York in 1972. That October, he used $6,500 of his savings to open Ben’s Kosher Restaurant, which he named in honor of his father, himself a deli man. In the 45 years that have passed, the younger Mr. Dragoon has established seven Ben’s locations throughout Nassau, Queens, Westchester and Manhattan, as well as in Boca Raton, Florida. Though he currently employs more than 320 people. Mr. Dragoon can be found splitting his time behind the counter at the Greenvale and Boca Raton locations, where he mentors younger employees about the restaurant industry and personally oversees Greenvale’s day-to-day operations.

“You only turn 45 once, so we wanted to make it special,” says Mr. Dragoon. “When I started this business, I was single and broke. Now? I have a wife, two children, one dog, two grandchildren and a son-in-law – thank goodness – as well as seven successful restaurants. I also had a full head of hair when I started and now I have none, but I’ll take that trade off any day.”

The Ben’s 45th Anniversary Celebration Week Special includes a soup, bottomless fountain beverage and choice of entrée with two sides. Entrées include Fresh Empire Chicken Dinner, Stuffed Cabbage, Chicken Fricassee or Fresh Roasted Turkey.
