My boss and I go here at least once a month. She calls it good Jew food; I call it happiness between sliced marble rye.
Not surprisingly, The Downtown Deli offers shovel-fuls of sliced meat between your choice of bread, often with a side of fries, always bound to sate your appetite. Admittedly, I'm a light-ish eater and quickly fill up, but The Downtown Deli becomes a great solution to having tasty leftovers to remind you about why working downtown makes sense.
I just love The Downtown Deli. It makes be feel very metropolitan and sophisticated. Because, what else gleans class than a packed belly and pastrami breath?
