Very good quality...great food, but don't expect cheese on that sandwich, this is a kosher kosher deli...no dairy. more

Wow. The Tradition of the Delicatessen would seem to have its limits, or so I thought. Goyem beware: you are in for a treat! This is far beyond a liverwurst sandwich picked from a glass case.

The Second Avenue Deli used to be our deli of choice when we were in NYC but, alas, it is now gone. Locals in the NYC forum suggested that Ben's is a worthy contender for replacement so we decided to give it a try. We agree--while it's not quite the same, it is still very good.
