Personal Wine Buyer: Langer’s Deli

Tom Delorme of PersonalWineBuyer.com recently paid a return visit to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant after a long break (we hope it was just because he was out of town). He had wonderful memories of the first visit, including our cabbage soup, so he wondered if his nostalgia for our quality was just sentimentality. His discovery?

Truth be told, it was better than last time. The bread’s crust was thicker — it was more like a shell than a crust — and of course the pastrami was delicious. My next trip I might just get a pastrami on rye with mustard — I can’t imagine it could get much better than that and the absence of cole slaw, cheese and dressing might be a better format to let the real stars of the sandwich shine. I left knowing that was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had — and perhaps at the very top of the list.

It’s a great article, and it includes a digest of Langer’s history.
