Noshery:
- informal a restaurant or other place where food is served [Dictionary.com]
Until I saw the definition I was mispronouncing it in my head. No-shery. Noted in “A birthday party for a dead man? Philip Roth gets feted on his 90th.” Karen Heller, WaPo:
Yes, there were countless liver jokes, in reference to the most creatively abused organ in American fiction, as in: “After reading Philip Roth’s ‘Portnoy’s Complaint,’ I could never eat liver again.” There was even a noble mound of chopped liver served at Hobby’s Delicatessen (motto: “Established before you were born”), a corner noshery where stand-up comedians ripped jokes, many off-color, in honor of this city’s acclaimed literary son.
