NY Deli? Ha. No pickles on table or anywhere insight, none offered or suggested. Cole slaw was way too sweet. My pastrami and corned beef combo sandwich was made using slices from the ends, and no self-respecting deli would ever do that. Good deli owners are willing to make sure the ends only get used for scraps or in breakfast dishes with eggs, and not put on the sandwiches. The pastrami and the corned beef were pretty tasteless-no better tasting than pre-packaged stuff from the supermarket, though from the display counter one would have expected better. I may giove them another try, but this native NYCer trabnsplanted to this area is so far not very impressed.
