Zabar's, Appetizing store at Upper West Side, United States.
Zabar's is a large appetizing store on the Upper West Side occupying two floors with smoked fish, bagels, cheeses, and prepared foods. The space includes multiple departments, a coffee section, housewares area, and a prepared foods counter.
Louis Zabar, a Ukrainian immigrant, established the store in 1934 after beginning with a market stall. The business grew to become a recognized destination for specialty foods.
The store reflects New York food traditions through its selection of hand-sliced smoked fish and fresh-baked rugelach. These foods connect Jewish heritage with the daily rhythm of city life.
The store sits on Broadway and is easily accessible by public transit. A visit works best when you have time to browse the different sections and sample or select items from the various counters.
The store played a role in bringing automatic drip coffee makers to American consumers during the late 1960s. These machines changed how American households prepared and consumed coffee.
