At this modern take on the Jewish deli, some fusion dishes -- Bubby's Kitchen Sink Pho, a mash-up of excellent matzoh ball soup with pastrami, corned beef, and rice noodles, and the "Jubano," a Cuban sandwich where corned beef subs for ham -- are delicious. The old school meats really shine, especially the moist and fragrant house-smoked pastrami, as do the side dishes -- crisp latkes and a highly respectable cheese kugel. The tattoo-covered serves might surprise Zayde, but they're as sweet as pie. Or Jewish apple cake.
