This is a pay as you go event, showing up is free!

N.Y. Deli opened in March next to one of my favorite pizza places- NYPD Pizza. I was thinking/hoping that N.Y. Deli might follow the same style as the pizza place, and serve super awesome NY deli style sandwiches, home made pastrami, etc. (Not that we don’t have great local spots for that) Instead, N.Y. Deli has a different formula- Boar’s Head sandwiches only.

Over a year ago, on a warmer day, I discovered how much I enjoyed the gazpacho and fresh sandwiches at Le Bus. Now that it’s warming up, (on and off) I had a craving for that gazpacho again. But another soup, the color of pepto bismol, tempted me instead. Ok, I realize that doesn’t sound tempting, but it was delicious, I promise!
