NY Marina Deli--restaurant Review



 

I use to come here when the original owner ran it and a couple of times after he died and his wife took over. The last I heard it had closed but it seems she just sold it to new owners. I became aware it was still open after seeing a coupon in a coupon book.

I go every Thursday to this shopping center so we decided to give it a try and was pleased to see it was basically the same.

Allen ordered the Reuben (Hot corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand Island dressing and swiss cheese on rye) $11.50 with a side of Coleslaw ($1.25) and a diet fountain cola ($2.50) while I had the Rachel (Hot Pastrami, sauerkraut and melted cheese on rye) $11.50, Coleslaw ($1.25) and a cola ($2.50)

We decided to split the sandwiches. They were both piled high, in the center, making it a little difficult to handle but we managed. The Meat was, at best luke warm, was tasty.

Though not a complete service restaurant the food is delivered to the table. You place your order and you pay at the cashier's just telling what you had, which is, as far as I can tell, the honor system though the deli guy does write up a check when taking your order.

I don't get the shouting of "Sunway" whenever a tip is put in the jar at the register--a reference to NYC? Or just advertising the Subway restaurants, which is what it made me think of when I heard it! LOL

Our bill came to $29.66 plus a couple of bucks in the jar and a "Subway".

 

The New York Marina Deli does live up to the style of the Carnegie or Stage Delis in NYC but not as loud or crowded!

There is a restaurant/bar in Omaha that has a week-long Reuben celebration every year, and reading about it always sounds so good, but not good enough to inspire me to drive to Omaha.

A Reuben in Omaha???? There is something wrong with that!

Well, now that you two have talked about it, I'm dying for some corned beef and find I've got to go stop in Squirrel Hill tomorrow. Haven't had any for a year or two. The quality of the 2 delis there is equal to NYC ones, I'm convinced, at least as far as the corned beef and pastrami go. Pittsburgh is very spoiled by having this traditional Jewish neighborhood.

I use to live in Memphis--they had 'delis' but the water wasn't right for the corned beef and pastrami-- an important part of the taste--just like with bagels!

I haven't had a good (or bad) pastrami sandwich in longer than I can remember! The bars around where I worked in the city by the Garden always piled the meat in the center of the sandwich. I still don't understand the purpose to that unless it's to make it look full. But that is a minor inconvenience to enjoy a good sandwich!

That's just the part of the NY tradition!
