| - OMG! Greenberg's serves up some of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had. If you're in Las Vegas and you love a mountain of New York style hot, freshly shaved, thin sliced meat on fresh bread of your choice you owe yourself a visit to Greenberg's Deli on the casino level of the New York, New York Hotel and Casino.
My friends are thoughtful. On the day prior to running the half marathon I had a fairly late pasta lunch and decided to skip dinner in preparation for the morning's race. My race morning ritual is pretty simple. One hour before the race I eat a banana or a bagel and I drink a pint of Cytomax to prepare my body for the onslaught ahead. Cytomax is a fluid replacement liquid that has added vitamins to fuel the body and prolong cramping.
Both of my friends were running in their first half marathon, and neither had any set routine for nutrition on the day prior to the race nor on race morning. They visited Greenberg's on the night prior to the race, and in thinking I was starving in my hotel room they brought back for me a huge deli sandwich with a side of potato salad and a pickle with a bottle of Gatorade. The time was 10 PM and the race was just 9 hours away. With no refrigeration in the hotel room, and two overstuffed roommates I was left with no choice but to eat the darn sandwich and the sides.
Knowing my love for meat they brought back a Twin Bill consisting of a mountain of hot pastrami and corned beef with just a slight smear of mustard on wheat bread (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/I4Nr-MVc26qWr08-S3Q1ow?select=u6ig5pKlEqhgsmAvUNWrkA). I swear the take out box weighed in at more than a pound with the thick pile of meat taking up most of that weight. The sandwich was incredible. The meats were nicely marbled, flavorful and moist and this was easily one of the best deli sandwiches I've had outside of New York City. It was even better than Miller's East West Deli in San Francisco, and I love Miller's. The big crunchy pickle was outstanding as well with just the right amount of sour to it. The potato salad was basically big chunks of unpeeled potatoes, lots of mayo and just a touch of dill. It took me nearly an hour to finish the sandwich, and I knew I was in trouble for the next morning.
Sure enough, the big sandwich came back to haunt me at mile 10 during the half marathon the next morning. Luckily I run for fun, and I didn't really care that I finished 12 minutes later thanks to 2 pit stops I was forced to make.
I was so satisfied with the sandwich that I made my own visit to the deli the next night to order another. This time I had the New York Skyhigh (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/I4Nr-MVc26qWr08-S3Q1ow?select=QtjcS6CWBgSaD01Zry3urg) which is corned beef, pastrami, turkey, cole slaw and thousand island dressing on bread of choice. I even tried their authentic chocolate New York egg cream which is simply milk, Hershey's chocolate syrup and carbonated water hand mixed and machine whirled to create a thick layer of froth on top. Here it was without the froth (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/I4Nr-MVc26qWr08-S3Q1ow?select=ekkd6tNYWjCU9Z-oXH3_4Q) as I had already sucked it up. I loved this sandwich just as much as the Twin Bill and the drink? Well, that was like drinking chocolate milk with fizz!
Greenberg's is very reasonably priced too as their sandwiches are mostly under $10 including the sides!
