This place is for you if you have a yen for chopped liver, smoked whitefish salad, blintzes, brisket, corned beef, potato pancakes, cheesecake or chocolate phosphate. And yes, they do have bagels -- about 10 varieties. Seven varieties of homemade vegetarian soups are available to take home frozen. Busy on Sundays and at lunchtime.
