Clearly, Gruman's Bubby knew her stuff. From crispy potato latkes to tasty matzo ball soup to fat sandwiches (the turkey bacon is my current favorite) and a damn good chicken pot pie, Gruman's has become one of my regular lunch spots. The desserts that I have tried (the carrot cake and the chocolate cake) have also been delicious. The service is friendly and prompt, and Peter Gruman himself can usually be found standing by the deli, helping customers order take out or checking in on a table's meals. I haven't tried their brunch yet, or their early morning breakfast specials, but it's definitely on my list.
If you're looking for comfort food made right, and a casual place to go for lunch or dinner, and hey, if you enjoy spinning hypothetical yarns about Bubby, then be sure to check out Grumans.
