ZABAR'S : A Family Story, with Recipes

Willie Zabar isn’t just about lox. The descendant of the founders of the mouthwatering institution is a comedian, volunteer fireman, and deli-counter maven.

He will discuss the recent book, Zabar’s: A Family Story, with Recipes. It details the founding and the growth of a place that has made its way into movies, including one by Woody Allen. The Zabars trace their roots to Ukraine, and came to the States in 1934. Willie did his stint in the business and then went on his own in a varied and fascinating career.
