Deli Lunch~
Claire told us about the best deli counter sandwiches in NYC, Mani’s Marketplace. Unlike most cat-filled New York deli’s, this one is special and fresh and the grilled chicken pesto sandwich brings tears to my eyes and I want it.. again and again and you get the idea.

From Me To You: Flavor of the Month~ March
I became disproportionately happy upon reading that Jamie and Kevin tried and loved the deli sandwiches from Mani Marketplace. My personal favorite is one of my own concoction (with some well-advised amendments from Robert): honey turkey, swiss cheese, coleslaw, lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard on rye. Unless you are going to eat it right away, ask them to put the coleslaw in between the turkey and the cheese so that it doesn’t make the bread soggy. Yes, that part is important.
Anyway, the real point of this was to tell you that if you live anywhere near Mani Marketplace (94th & Columbus), it will make your days so much brighter to shop there. The owners and the checkout girls and the stock boys are the friendliest you will meet at any grocer in New York. If they are out of or do not carry a product or a flavor that you want, they will order it for you. They greet you with a huge smile every time and help you shop and are just generally welcoming and wonderful and make you feel like family. I adore Jamie, because she puts it so perfectly (she gets it!): this one is special.
