Best Jewish Delis: Zaftigs in Boston

If you've ever been to a Jewish Deli and thought "these latkes are great, but they'd be better with a side of bacon," then boy has Boston got a deli for you.

Set on Harvard Street in the Brookline neighborhood, Zaftigs is one deli where you won't want to take grandma, because while they've got all the kosher classics, they don't keep strictly kosher.

The restaurant serves all the traditional offerings—potato pancakes, blintzes, smoked whitefish salad—along with a few Jewish fusion options like BBQ brisket quesadillas. It may perhaps be the first time you'll have ever had an opportunity to taste "Jewish fusion."

Breakfast, which is served all day, features banana-stuffed French toast and cheddar-apple omelets. Those not enough choices for you? Don't worry, you can always opt for a BLT, just don't tell grandma.
