it is really not like akosherstyle delli. although from richmond, we lived in ny for over 30 years. we loved visiting the great delis there, like carnegie. the sandwiches were large and the meat very delicious.
here is what was good: half done pickles. matza ball soup, except the ball was too large. here is what was really bad:
wife ordered chopped liver sandwich, i ordered hot pastrami and chicken liver sandwich. the chicken liver was made like a pate....very loose, and served like one little schmear on the bread. it didn't even taste like chicken liver.you didn't get this recipe from a jewish mother!!!! she complained and got maybe and 18th of an inch more!! my pastrami was way over cooked,with hard pieces included and sandwich was not "overstuffed" the taste was awful. !! i told waiter and asked him for a taste of the corned beef........same problem there....overcooked and tasteless!!!!
we live in williamsburg and were so happy with the prospect of having a goodkosherstyle place to get a good sandwich.
sooooo, we were sooooooooo disappointed. we also have many friends in richmond and agree with our assessment!
we were soooo hoping !!! the closest place in the larger area for good almost new york food is 57 deli in virginia beach.
you guys should go there and get some ideas!!!!
write me back.... at: samtreger@cox.net we are really hoping.
