classicdeliin rva. i no longer live in the roanoke area, but every time i visit, the first food stop on the way home is the new yorker deli. it's nostalgic, because we ate there a lot when i was a kid -- my dad loved their huge portions for the great price. my mom, a former yankee from ct, loved the deli-style sandwiches she ate as a kid. my brother, a picky eater, could get his plain hotdog. it was the first time i ever had a brown's cream soda! we all were in heaven! it's a shabby place, a bit chaotic when busy, but well worth the trip for a classic submarine, delicatessen-style. love these old places!
