About Miran
Garlands of soutzouki and blocks of spice-crusted pastourma hang across the front of Miran, the delicatessen the Kourounlian family traces back to 1922. Grandsons Miran and Krikor took over in the 1990s, but the recipes for the traditional beef pastourma and Armenian-style soutzouki are still the family’s own. Inside you will also find cured meats and cheeses from small producers, and pies and peinirli made with the house pastourma. Ask for the pastourma sliced paper-thin to take home, and a little soutzouki for the grill. Our advice: if you are flying home, ask for it vacuum-packed.
