About Lev & Ida's Sandwich Counter
Standing as a tribute to traditional deli fare, Lev & Ida’s Sandwich Counter is invigorated by Hudson NY's vibrant culinary spirit. Nestled within the historic Cannonball Factory, this sandwich haven honors owner Frederick Pikovsky’s grandparents by blending Jewish, Italian, and Greek culinary practices. From its location in the Cannonball Market, reached through an alley off 4th Street, Lev & Ida’s offers a breakfast starting at 8 AM and a lunch menu until 3 PM, Tuesday through Saturday. The shop has quickly captured the attention of locals and visitors alike, especially since it filled the gap left by the closing of Hudson’s well-loved Cascades. Here, patrons find solace in robust flavors and unforgettable textures that transform a simple sandwich into a satisfying experience, with their choice of in-house pastries and freshly brewed coffee adding a sweet note to start the day.
The distinctive feature of Lev & Ida’s is its innovative yet respectful take on classic sandwiches. Their headlining offering, Lev’s Hot Pastrami, boasts a 24-hour house-made pastrami served with whole grain mustard and fermented sauerkraut on leavened rye. This careful attention to tradition does not preclude creativity, as evidenced by “Morty, What Is That?”—a sandwich pitting mortadella against sundried tomato pesto and pickled peppers atop focaccia. Those looking for plant-based options can turn to choices like 'The Did You Get Lost?', which brings together Lebanese spiced mushrooms and miso herb crema. Community ties run deep at Lev & Ida’s, which, along with other vendors like Yummy Kitchen, breathes new life into the Cannonball Factory space. The influence of Barnfox, Pikovsky’s co-working space upstairs, means this sandwich counter isn't just a place to grab a bite; it’s part of a rejuvenated community hub where food culture meets entrepreneurial spirit.
