Mile End’s Montreal-Style Feast in Manhattan

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Mile End regularly offers New Yorkers Montreal-style deli. Above, the staff posed last month with Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (fourth from left), who stopped by for lunch. This week, the eatery will offer a Jewish feast of a different kind.
In a few hours, foodie curators will take over Mile End Deli’s Manhattan location for an over-the-top “Montreal-style Jewish feast.”
Its nine courses include a decadent-sounding maple-smoked duck potato latke with shaved foie gras; fattoush with candy-cane beets and angel-hair cheese; and slow-roasted lamb with falafel and spicy eggplant. Mile End co-owner Noah Bernamoff concocted the menu. Tickets still available; they’re $50.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
