| - Toronto is not New York and it never will be. There is a limited amount of good pizza and bagels, taxis can take forever, and people on the subway are not scary.* Despite being located in Toronto, The New Yorker Deli is still pretty good.
I am actually surprised I hadn't reviewed this place yet, as I have some work friends who like it so much, we go on a semi-regular basis. As a repeat customer, I have tried a variety of lunch options, including the smoked meat sandwich (mmmm), bagels with various toppings, BLTs, and salads. I have liked all of it, with one exception. Don't get the chicken salad unless you want something that I don't think IS legitimate chicken salad. Their chicken salad has egg in it. At this deli, when you ask the question, "what came first: the chicken or the egg?" they answer "who cares? we'll combine them!" In my opinion, it doesn't work, and it's nasty. When I did order it once, they were very kind and took it back with no charge, but I was still unsettled. Gross chicken salad.
Service is pretty good. It gets busy at lunch, and sometimes you'll wait for a table, but they turn-over pretty quickly. When you get a deli sandwich, there's a variety of mustards on the table to dress it.**
*They may be stupid, but not scary
**although not the most high-end mustards in the world, more like Webers and Guldens.
