07Dec07New York Deli
I had lunch at the New York Deli today and was thus prompted to write a long overdue entry. I like the NY Deli. A lot.
Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the proprietor is a fellow Nittany Lion. (It’s important for us Big Ten folk to find each other here in the land of the ACC, especially during football season.) I hold a space in my heart for a good pastrami on rye and am never disappointed.
Once only available on Wednesdays, they recently added another of my favorites, the Cuban sandwich, to their regular menu and I recommend it without hesitation. It’s a small restaurant and is often crowded for lunch, so you may want to consider placing a To-Go order on your way to or from the beach.
They also have, as the name suggests, deli items available including prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and other assorted meats and cheeses. There is a Pasta night Thursday through Saturday (yes, they serve wine & beer) and though I haven’t been personally, I have, not surprisingly, heard positive reviews.
New York Deli tends to be pricier than what you might expect to pay for a sandwich, but without much competition in the area, the quality and consistency is worth the extra couple bucks. If you’re staying in Atlantic Beach, I’d highly recommend a boxed lunch for the boat on the day of your dive.
