This is a quintessential corner deli.Great sandwiches, tasty sides, and witty, friendly banter from behind the counter.We enjoyed the chicken salad with curry sandwich, the reuben, and the Cancer Stinks sandwich, plus a side of potato salad.You can get a half or a whole sandwich.The pickles are salty but not dilly.If we lived near here, this would be a regular go-to.

This is a true NYC-style deli place in the middle of Coolidge Corner! Stumbled upon this place by accident and than saw all the recommendations, including the one from Anthony Bourdain.The service is incredibly friendly and nice, they also serve you pretty quick.It's a typical deli, so do not expect a super fancy atmosphere, but for a quick bite - it's delicious. Enjoyed my pastrami sandwich A LOT, however it was on the pricier side when looking at the deli style offering. Having said that, I'm sure I'll come back to try their other sandos and bagels.
