Hebrew National Delicatessen ad [Feb. 11, 1938]
The Hebrew National Delicatessen and Restaurant Company was located at 2203 Murray Ave. It opened on February 15, 1938, taking over the Volensky Grill & Delicatessen. It closed around 1953, when it became Polonsky’s. Advertisements listed “strictly kosher corned beef—postromi—tongue—salami—wieners—liver pudding—knuck-wurst.”
The Hebrew National Delicatessen and Restaurant Company was originally managed by Adolph Schwartz and, sometime before 1942, was purchased by Abe N. Polonsky.
