Premium Member Sollys Deli
I love Jewish food, So does my tum, It makes my mouth water And delights my tongue. I worked in the City. Of London years ago London brings back memories, That I treasure so. I used to pass a Jewish Deli, As I walked along the street, The smells coming from that Deli, It smelled marvellous to eat. A little bell tinkled as I opened the door The...

She Lost Self-Control At the New York Deli
I saw her sitting at a table for one, her hands were slender as she grabbed a sesame bun, which was stuffed with three inches of smoked turkey, onion, tomato, lettuce and Swiss cheese, opening her red-lipsticked mouth with ease, she bit into the sandwich relishing every bite, delicately chewing the morsel with delight. Next came the mound of potato salad, covered with...

Premium Member Early Morning Deli
Early Morning Deli So, I’m standing in the early morning deli line. Waiting for my sliced turkey and cheese. One old man behind me and another old lady behind the counter. She’s slicing up something and doesn’t even know we are there. I roll my eyes and wait. He strikes up a conversation about turkey. Just what I need! He tells me he...

Katz's Deli
“When Harry Met Sally’s” most memorable scene Was filmed in this eatery, where Pastrami and corned beef are piled high on rye – Indulge, if your arteries dare. But here I’ll impart a sage word of advice: Your ticket allows you to leave; Misplace it or lose it and tsurris* awaits – There’ll be trouble like you won’t believe! You see,...

The Deli On Granville
The Deli On Granville I lived in the attic back then, and late those evenings I had to study and couldn’t afford to go drinking I’d run down to the deli and buy bagels and smoked lox. I’d watch the lame son wrap each item in white paper while his father, coughing at the register, pointed to the cans on the wall and...
