The chubby kid inside of me would have liked a larger portion, but the healthier side of me says that the portions are probably more along the lines of what we SHOULD be eating, verses the super unhealthy helpings we are used to.

It is noted on the door, and they do have baby food if you need it. I was also asked to not use my own sippy cup for my 1-year-old, though they are working on getting disposable sippy cups for customers. <br /><br />I had a turkey on multigrain, which Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029295668167540547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-19319545420011711142011-06-06T22:52:16.027-04:002011-06-06T22:52:16.027-04:00We went again on Sunday at about 6p.

It looked like about a 50-50 mix between the "kosher crowd" and people that work nearby. The fresh corned beef was great.

Overall, it was good experience. My husband wanted so much for it to be like an old school New York style deli, it's not. He had the classic pastrami on rye and a potato knish. The sandwich was good, but he felt he could have made the same thing at home.

The corned beef exceeded expectations. Some issues, but all within expectations for a place that was newly opened.

For about $7-$10 you get a deli sandwich hot or cold, one side and a pickle. They have about 10 different meats, 10 different breads, the normal fixins, about a half dozen sides, and your choice of sour or half sour pickles. <br /><br />I had a hot pastrami on seeded rye with deli mustard, onions, and a side of potato salad.
