"When you walk into a restaurant and it’s filled with old men eating soup, your meal is either going uphill or downhill, stat. Fortunately, at Greenwich & Delancey, it’s the former. The star of the menu at this upscale kosher deli is undoubtedly the pastrami sandwich, which at $36 is almost $10 more than Katz’s on the Lower East Side, but you’re in Greenwich, after all, and it’s worth it. Start with the comforting chicken consomme with pelmeni and then move on to the main event, where the juicy pastrami is piled high onto homemade rye and served simply with spicy brown mustard and excellent all-you-can-eat pickles on the side. If you’re with a group and feeling flush, shell out $80 for the tableside service, where a whole side of pastrami is wheeled out on a cart, unveiled in a fragrant puff of smoke, and sliced like a prime rib for a make-your-own-sandwich adventure. Go on a weekday or Sunday, since the restaurant is closed for Shabbat. photo credit: Sam Schwab" - Chloe Zale
