There is no other restaurant in New York that makes me feel fatter than when I leave than the 2nd Ave. Deli. And I mean that as a good thing. You might think you’ve eaten good deli before, but if you’ve never been to 2nd Ave., then I’m telling you, you’ve never truly had good deli.

And for all the great things that are on their menu, nothing, not even the matzah ball soup, tops their pastrami. It’s mouth watering. The greatest thing that has ever touched my fair lips.
