Calling this place
gourmet is like calling a Buick Regal sporty; the claim is an obvious
farce, but you ignore it and hope that the thing just isn't a complete
disaster. So, the first thing I see when entering the place is a roach
scurrying out from the 'Nilla Wafers. That, I must say, was not what
I expected of a "gourmet" deli. I realize, of course, that
most every restaurant--and especially every bodega-like establishment--in
Manhattan has roaches, but I hate eating a turkey sandwich from a
joint right after seeing one of the little buggers. I steeled my nerves
and ordered up my grub. Besides having a few too many onions, the
sandwich was decent and cheap. They actually put the thing in a little
plastic box instead of your typical white paper wrapper, which is
a nice touch. Anyway, the place is basically your typical glorified
bodega--bugs and all--but if you're looking to grab a quick sandwich,
these are the places that make the city so easy to handle. [MF] |
