A point on the Yiddish Theater Walk of Fame, a path that was initiated by Abe Lebewohl who was the owner of the "Second Avenue Deli", one of the well-known kosher delis in New York City. In the deli there were pictures and objects commemorating the Yiddish theaters that operated in the area at the beginning of the twentieth century. After Lebewohl’s murder, the deli moved to Third Avenue.
The track was established in 1984 by Lebewohl ​​in front of his Deli.
