There is a new "New York" or "Jewish" deli opening at the Falls River shopping area. We have been promised real deli several times and our hopes have been dashed. I hope this new place will come through. If they need a taste tester consultant, they can email me :0) and I can steer them in the right direction.
But, if you want real deli (Jewish and non-), you still have to go north. We stopped at Harold's Deli in Edison NJ on the way home from Massachusetts a few weeks ago. It is right off the Garden State and New Jersey Turnpikes (exit 10). The GPS took us right there! The last time we tried to get there we got lost LOL.
Check out our new food forum on this site. This is a place where food mavens can exchange recipes, new restaurant finds and talk about anything else you want to discuss about food. Food editor Amber Nimocks has kicked things off in today's N&O by calling on all beefeaters to share how they turn beef into masterpiece dinners.
By the way, my favorite restaurant is the Rockin' Comet Diner in Clayton, on Highway 70. A Phillie cheesesteak sandwich to die for.
