Nah, it's just Jewish-influenced, or NY-influenced, or however else
you'd like to describe it. Any place that sells a LEO (lox, eggs, and
onions, others might be known as a lox and onion omlette) is a Jewish
Deli, IMHO. I would have tried it here except that it specified Nova,
which isn't as salty and doesn't have as much flavor, so I decided to
pass.

Arties, on Broadway around 82nd, if memory serves, in NYC's Upper West
Side, make a fine LEO. An acquaintance of mine told me that people who
live in the neighborhood call it Overpriced Artie's, and that's true,
but it seems like a downright bargain compared to Harold's.
