The first deli is often attributed to a store opened in 1888 in New York City by a German immigrant named Mamie Klein. However, the term "delicatessen" itself comes from the German word "delikatesse," meaning delicacies, and similar establishments existed in Europe before this. New York's delis became particularly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, catering to the city's diverse immigrant population.
