I am happy to have finally tried Gotham! as a new yorker, bagels and deli's are soemthing i STILL miss. I will say this first- bagels are good.. they are NOT as good as NY bagels but closer than anything else in the Madison area.
There sammiches are GREAT tho- and I swear I never, ever thought I would get a yummy chicken cutlet sammich unless I was in the Northeast,(mst people don't even know what a chicken cutlet is here!!) and Gotham proved me wrong!
Great sammiches, so worth it... I wish we could do half stars.. this is a 3.5 for sure!!
