There are certain foods New Yorkers take very seriously.

Bagels are obviously one of them.

But the New York deli experience goes way beyond a bagel with cream cheese.

It's hot pastrami. Nova lox. Whitefish salad. A proper Reuben. A knish. Babka. Black & white cookies.

It's the kind of food you grow up eating without realizing how hard it might be to find someday.

Then you move south.

And suddenly, you understand.

It Starts with the Bagel

A real  New York bagel  isn't soft, airy bread shaped like a circle.

It should have a crust on the outside and a dense, satisfying chew on the inside.

That's exactly what we serve at  nosh NY bagels .

Our authentic New York-style bagels are the foundation of what we do—but they're only the beginning.

Bring on the Lox

Few combinations are more quintessentially New York than a fresh bagel, cream cheese, and nova lox.

Add the classic fixings, and you've got a breakfast—or lunch—that doesn't need much explaining to anyone who grew up around a New York deli.

For those who know, you know.

For everyone else?

It's time to find out.

Meet the Knish

If you just said, "What's a knish?" this section is for you.

If you just said, "FINALLY, someone has knishes," this section is also for you.

The knish is a New York institution: hearty, comforting, and exactly the kind of old-school food we love bringing to the Lowcountry.

We proudly carry Gabila's knishes, a name many transplanted New Yorkers will recognize immediately.

Pastrami, Reubens & Serious Sandwiches

Sometimes a turkey sandwich isn't going to cut it.

You want something stacked.

Something hot.

Something that requires both hands.

That's where our deli-inspired lunch menu comes in.

From pastrami to the classic Reuben & Groovin', we've brought plenty of New York attitude to lunchtime.

And remember: you're not limited to a bagel.

We also offer kaiser rolls, wraps, and gluten-free bread.

Save Room for Something Sweet

The New York experience doesn't end after the sandwich.

Take a look at our bakery case and you might spot some old friends:

Babka.

Rugelach.

Linzer tarts.

Black & white cookies.

Crumb cake.

These are the treats that instantly transport some of our guests back to the neighborhood bakeries they grew up visiting.

For others, they're completely new.

We love both reactions.

For the New Yorkers Who Found Their Way South

One of our favorite things is watching someone walk through the door, scan the menu, and realize what they've found.

Maybe it's the knish.

Maybe it's the whitefish salad.

Maybe it's seeing a black & white cookie in the bakery case.

Or maybe it's simply biting into a properly chewy bagel again.

We get it.

 nosh  was created by two Northeastern transplants who missed these foods, too.

We wanted to bring a little piece of  New York  food culture to the Lowcountry—and introduce our Southern neighbors to why we're all so obsessed with it in the first place.

And for the Lowcountry Locals...

Welcome.

Consider this your invitation to eat like a New Yorker.

Order the pastrami.

Try the lox.

Get the knish.

Take a black & white cookie home.

And whatever you do, don't be afraid to order too much.

Around here, we have a saying for that.

Eat Greedy.
