Eat (And Drink) Your Way Through Literary Brooklyn
Ziad’s deli
Famously immortalized as “Zeod’s,” one of the main character’s favorite haunts in Motherless Brooklyn, Ziad’s in Boerum Hill is mostly just a slightly better version of every other deli you’ll find in Brooklyn. Which is actually a pretty big deal. For anyone (and for broke writers especially), knowing you can still get a well made sandwich for under $5 is immensely comforting, and one of the better perks of living in New York at all. We won’t tell you what to get, because sandwich orders are personal, but if you stumble in here for some sustenance after a visit to the Brooklyn Inn, you won’t be disappointed.
