  • Alright, this is a little tricky. I have been noticing people all complimenting the smoked meat at Mel's, listing it as the best thing there. The trouble: I have somewhat recently (in the last few years or so) become very aware of the difference in the smoked meat of say, Schwartz's of Montreal, as well as various other quality delis in New York (which do not specialize in the exact same style, but are backed by the same quality, precision and reputation). Tell a self-proclaimed deli connoiseur that you think Mel's does smoked meat right and they will most certainly get all up in your face about it. I have seen it happen. The smoked meat is unquestionably of a different calibre than these beloved institutions, but I still enjoy it for what it is (and besides, there is so much more they have to offer). Anyway, that being said, I love Mel's more than words can say. Some of my most formative years (and nights) were spent at those tables with the newspaper articles displayed under the glass top (about the very large family that owns the place), and I can't look into those bathroom mirrors without seeing myself drunk , mascara-smeared and five years younger (ouch). It is definitely an excellent post-drinking choice (and its location across the street from the dance cave made it second nature in my younger days), an excellent breakfast choice, an excellent place to go to reward yourself for an all-night library session and watch the sun come up with a friend. I have ordered plates of stacks of French toast, all day breakfasts, smoked meat sandwiches (yeah, that's right) and more "traditional club" sandwiches than you can shake a stick at. Worth noting: theirs is the only poutine I have ever even liked, and even loved and actually ordered, and I still have never brought myself to try that Monte Cristo sandwich which is made on French toast (!?), but almost do, every time. Take your non-deli-snob friends at any time of night and bask in the comfort and food (that equals comfort food).
