You got (kosher) beef?

Joshua M. Bernstein, New York Press' food writer, recently took a trip up to Marble Hill and Riverdale to find some kosher beef.
Mr. Bernstein ended up at Liebman's Delicatessen and enjoyed a nice big pastrami sandwich.
"I settled on pastrami. Matt opted for a brisket-pastrami combination. We both received a complimentary mountain of coleslaw and a platter of pickles, a mixture of half-sour and sour pickles so profoundly garlicky, they'd stop the Twilight vampires at 50 feet. The coleslaw was also winningly crisp, not a gloppy nightmare. And the sandwiches? Though the rye bread wasn't as pungent as I prefer, the thinly sliced meats were masterpieces of beef, tender and peppery and fatty in all the right places. With a smear of coarse-ground mustard, and sips stolen from Matt's can of Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda, my sandwich disappeared on the double."
