Travel back in time when you enter this tiny sliver of a restaurant on lower Second Avenue. Back when the good old Lower East Side was populated with appetizing stores (like M Schacht diagonally across Second) and delicatessens, B & H vied for your borscht shekels. Times have changed, but B & H remains a steadfast presence. Why not get your lentil soup here before B & H goes the way of Ratner's and countless others? It might taste like dishwater, but that's part of the ambience.
