Hoboken on Rye
Hoboken on Rye hopes to open this weekend!
2/28/2012 Update:
Stopped by Hoboken on Rye (164 1st St.) this week – and found out they’re hoping to open just in time for Hoboken Lepre-Con this Saturday.
Their main focus if they can get everything lined up is to go all-out with kosher hot dogs during the anticipated drunk-fest.
You might want to call ahead to confirm – (201)710-5450.

Instead of posting a comment that just shows you are ignorant and lazy, why don’t you use that same time to do a search and find out what it is? And no, I don’t “keep Kosher,” I just can’t believe someone would take the time to post something like that instead of just finding out what it is.

If you enjoy corned beef, brisket, pastrami, delicious hot dogs, rye bread, pickles, etc.,
you will enjoy a good Jewish Deli. It is a welcome change from all the Italian delis, which
are very good, but I’m looking forward to this new deli. Think Katz’s deli in New York!!

Sure is a welcomed change. Now let’s hope that 5 or 6 more don’t open so they put each other out of business. Good luck Jon.

Given the size of that space, it doesn’t look like there will be room for much on premises cooking which makes me nervous that the pastrami might be of a questionable quality, but I hope it will be great!

Two words: Potato Knishes! Please carry them. They can’t be found anywhere else in Hoboken. The square ones like you get from the carts in the city that you can slice open and fill with mustard. I could live on those things!

I know what Kosher fod is but I don’t know all the laws and even if one did know the laws they might not be understood wholey as to rational or preparation. For instance can I set up a kosher deli on the same block that serves pork, frog legs and alligator?

I am happy to hear about the opening of the deli. While I love the italian deli’s in the area. A good pastrami sandwich or turkey with chicken liver will be welcomed in my tummy.
Based on the discussion above thought i would throw my 2 cents in. This may or may not be a KOSHER deli. Meaning most Jewish deli’s are not kosher. They are kosher style meaning not serving pork products ect. Kosher is expensive and difficult to run beyond the normal business issues. You have to abide by a very strict code and be certified by a group showing you abide by all rules and regulations. Example someone brought up katz deli. This is not a kosher deli but kosher style. I personally dont care either way. Kosher style will have better hours for the hoboken crowd.

I tried Hoboken on Rye this weekend. I got the Rachael – $11.95 for Pastrami on Rye with Coleslaw. It came with a pickle wedge and a small coleslaw on the side. The pastrami was moist and flavorful. The coleslaw was also tasty. My only complaint would be that I think that $11.95 is a little expensive for a sandwich of that size when I can go one block away to Luca Brasi to get a delicious italian sub for under $10. Hoboken on Rye won’t be in my normal rotation, but I will be back again when I get a craving for pastrami!

Went there tonight. Pastrami was much better than I expected. That said either the sandwiches either have to be overstuffed or the prices have to be be about $3 cheaper. Def a good sandwich, just maybe adjust the prices a little. Also, seeing them put sandwiches in a microwave to heat up is a little offsetting and loses any “genuine” vibe they may be trying to conjure. Having freshly cut “hot” pastrami is how they roll at Katz, Carnagie Deli, etc – if you are going to try this concept in Hoboken, so close to the real thing, you have to go all in and do it right. Lose the microwaves – what if a pizza place did the same thing and heated up slices in a microwave…

We just tried Hoboken on Rye for the first time today. Had the matzoh ball soup and a sloppy joe sandwich. Thought the flavors were pretty authentic! Matzoh ball was really nice. We will most certainly return. Interested in trying the lox and whitefish. Pricing is fair for Jewish deli. Katz’s or 2nd Ave. Deli sandwiches are $15.

Stop in at Fran’s (2nd/Hudson) for lunch on a Wed, Thu or Fri…we typically have a fresh cut “hot from the steamer” pastrami on rye sandwich special that can “roll” with the best in the city…see you soon!
