Ben's Kosher Deli (colloquially known as Ben's) is a New York City-based Jewish deli chain with locations in Queens, on Long Island and in Boca Raton, Florida.[1]

History

Ben's was founded in 1972.[2] Ben's formerly operated a midtown location which had catered events such as Broadway premieres and fashion shows, such as the 2023 Batsheva Hay show.[3][4][5][6] The owner of Ben's, Ronnie Dragoon, owned at one time 7 locations.[7] He started the business when he was 24 years old.[8] The restaurant is kosher certified by mashgichim affiliated with the Rabbinical Assembly. It is open on Shabbat.[9]

The Scarsdale location was open from 2015 until 2021.[10] The Manhattan location merged with a kosher restaurant called Mr. Broadway.[11]
