CassyCassy: Sadly, the last true Jewish deli in the NE. All that I've sampled from this place- matzoh ball soup, pastrami, corned beef, whitefish salad, bagels and potato knishes have been totally top-notch.

Kenisha H.Kenisha H: The seeded light and airing roll was fantabulous. The pastrami was sliced thin and very edible and tasty. Nice little seating area, bathroom and day-old baked goods rack stocked with Danish and bagel

KirstenKirsten: If you love to nosh on Jewish deli meats Steve Stein's delivers. The nova lox, belly lox, Romanian pastrami, and corned beef are all delicious--easily rivaling anything youll find in the United States
