\nNew York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been asked not to come back to the famous Katz’s Deli on the Lower East Side after he entered the 120-year-old Jewish establishment with a group of pro-Palestine ‘Activists.’<\/p>\n
‘We told him we don’t mind them being here,’ said Katz’s owner, Jusef Barronberg, ‘We just ask that they respect everyone and put away their flags and signs.’<\/p>\n
The group refused, and Mamdani refused to leave without being served.<\/p>\n
‘We made him a sandwich for free to get him out of here, then we had the police serve him with a no trespassing notice.’<\/p>\n
Barronberg says this is the first time in his 60 years at the restaurant that he’s ever seen politics mixed with brisket.<\/p>\n
Good to see the owner stood up to the mayors crap<\/p>\n

Katz’s Delicatessen<\/a> was officially founded in 1888 on the Lower East Side of New York City, making it approximately 138 years old as of 2026, not 120.<\/p>\n
