A few weeks back, my roommate and I were craving a good Jewish deli sandwich all weekend - it may have been the fact this was around Hanukkah (and yes, I’ve been saving this post for quite some time). So Sunday night, with our neighbor/friend Doug in tow, we headed over to the 2nd [...]

If you’re looking for an intimate pre-matinee lunch in the theatre district, the Carnegie Deli on 7th Avenue near 55th Street is not the place to find it. In this very busy establishment, diners are seated about as close together as US Airways economy [...]

When looking for a place to grab lunch the other day, I decided to check out Yelp for some great sandwich shops in the Murray Hill area. Luckily, I stumbled across Lamazou.
Lamazou is a little cheese shop, located on 3rd between 26th and 27th that has imported treats from around the world - [...]

My sister and I needed to find a quick place to grab a bite before she headed to Penn Station to catch a train, so I suggested trying the new sandwich shop Defonte’s of Brooklyn. It just opened up on 21st and 3rd, so it couldn’t be closer to me. Technically it doesn’t open [...]

After I learned that Sal, Kris & Charlie’s Deli in Astoria closed early, I decided to come prepared the next time I headed to Astoria. As a back up, I found Othello’s on Yelp, another highly rated deli, which was open much later hours. Although my visit to SKC was successful the second time, [...]

When I saw that one of the highest rated restaurants on Yelp was a deli in Astoria, I was making plans to visit this deli faster than you can say “hold the mayo”. So one Thursday night around 8:45, I got off the Ditmars Blvd stop in Astoria, practically skipping to this mecca of [...]

Headed over to Bagel Express this morning on 93rd and 2nd in search of a really good bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an onion bagel. Have to say, I wasn’t disappointed with the sandwich. Bagel was soft and had just the right amount of onion flavor, bacon wasn’t fatty or disgusting, and the [...]

Now Pittsburgh may not be the most “happening” place in the country, but if you ever find yourself in the Steel City you must stop by the famous Primanti Brothers to taste a piece of Pittsburgh history - a sandwich stacked with the meat of your [...]
