YOU VOTED, THEY WON! OPEN FOR BUSINESS
BEST RESTAURANT
Jacob’s Pickles
If you’re in the mood for a taste of
the south in Manhattan, check out
Jacob’s Pickles on the Upper West
Side. In 2011, founder Jacob Hadjigeorgis
launched the restaurant
after he was unable to find Southern
style cooking in New York. The
founder says that his affinity for the
cuisine stemmed from his travels
and he found that it evoked a certain
warmth and charm. Since its inception,
Jacob’s Pickles has shared its
home-cooked food, artisanal beers,
handmade cocktails and, of course,
its signature handmade pickles with
the community at large. Order one of
their Southern biscuit sandwiches or
indulge in their catfish tacos. Jacob’s
Pickles succeeds in bringing something
new to a city already known for
its diverse cuisine, and it rightfully
deserves the title of Best Restaurant.

BEST DELICATESSEN
Katz’s Delicatessen
Katz’s is as classic as the Jewish Deli
gets, having served hungry customers
on the Lower East Side and beyond
since 1888. Katz’s Delicatessen is
known for its world-famous pastrami
and corned-beef sandwiches, piled
high with mountains of meat, as well
as its soft, pillowy knishes and delicious
all-beef hot dogs. Katz’s corned
beef and pastrami is made using a
slower-than-conventional method,
without injecting chemicals or water
into the mix to speed up the process.
This means that the finished product
sometimes takes up to 30 days to cure
— the true definition of slow-cooked.
With a side of fries and Katz’s crunchy
pickles, you’ll wish every quarantine
meal tasted this good! Offering
pickup and nationwide delivery.

BEST KOREAN
RESTAURANT
Her Name is Han
Upon opening, Her Name is Han’s
SPOTLIGHT ON 2020 WINNERS
goal was to create a place where Korean
Americans and internationals
could find a home away from home.
The eatery seeks to remove the
commercial components that are
standard to other eateries and use traditional
Korean ingredients to create
what they call “Korean soul food”. For
brunch, enjoy dishes like spicy curry
chicken with a buckwheat crepe, beef
bulgogi and mini seafood hotpot. And
when it’s dinner time, dine on small
plates of kimchi pancakes with soft
poached eggs and main dishes like cod
steak with creamy kimchi-dijon mustard
sauce. When it comes to the finest
Korean fare in the city, Her Name
is Han surely takes the top prize.
Offering pickup and delivery.
