| - First Review (be gentle)
A little sad that my first review isn't in my hometown (Windsor), but Toronto is like my home away from home. The New York Deli is a great little deli off Bay street. Deceptively small from the outside, seating goes far back into the store so there is plenty of room to sit down and eat. The wait staff is pretty casual, so to the point that I was confused if I had to go up and place an order or wait. Regardless, within 5 mins we were waited upon and presented menus.
First off, this place serves all-day breakfast so thats a plus in my books. Omelettes, hash browns and bacon, a meal fit for any time of the day. Beyond the all-day breakfast is a plentiful deli sandwich menu, with the pastrami and beef brisket sliced right behind the deli counter. The man working that counter is a mathematician, slicing and weighing out portions for the perfect sandwich every time. Being an italian my love for cured meats knows no bound so I got the pastrami sandwich with coleslaw on the side.
The sandwich comes plain but you can ask for a variety of toppings (the waiter thought I was asking for coleslaw on my sandwich instead of on the side), and the table has ever type of mustard known to man, even a wasabi mustard I had never seen before.
If you're looking for a quick bite or a meal, The New York Deli can serve your needs. I want this review to be more of a validation for the power of Yelp, as looking for lunch places near my hotel this popped up and the reviews did not disappoint.
One last tip: avoid the fries, there nothing special, get a different side dish, like the onion rings or coleslaw.
