Having a pastrami craving and I don't want to go to the Carnegie (lines are too long) and I want to go some place other than Katz's. Sat Jan 21 11:48:22 -0800 2006 0 MrsT 1 1320897 Mill Basin Deli. Ave T and 58th, i think. Old school NY Jewish deli. Gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Sat Jan 21 12:00:15 -0800 2006 1320896 0 metalnyc 1 1320899 I favor Jay & Lloyds Deli on Avenue U Near East 28th Street over Mill Basin. This is a "hemishe" deli-the owners come around to the tables to make sure everything is the way it should be and and correct it with a smile if it's not. Prices are better than Mill Basin. Waiters and waitresses are also more "old-school". Good food, nice people. Sat Jan 21 12:32:33 -0800 2006 1320896 0 marty b 2 1320902 I totally forgot about Jay and Lloyds! It's been a long time since I've been there. Thanks! Sat Jan 21 12:57:40 -0800 2006 1320899 0 MrsT. 3 1320920 What are the prices like at these places? Comparable to katz's? Less? How much? Sat Jan 21 18:07:54 -0800 2006 1320902 0 Boots 4 1320944 At J & L kosher pastrami on rye.with pickles and cole slaw on the table was $8.95. (i tried katz's once-it is just so different from kosher pastrami i didn't enjoy it at all.) Their kishka is great and a portion is two pieces. Round potato knishes and creamy kasha knishes wonderful. Sat Jan 21 23:27:10 -0800 2006 1320920 0 martyb 5 1320961 Mill Basin Deli Great sandwiches and very good hot dogs grilling in the front window. Recently a friend and I took a pilgramige to NJ to check out the almost famous Rutt's Hutt recently, "Rutt's Sucked", bad quality hot dogs, small and more like oscar meyer(ceral dogs). And the famous mustard topping seems to be no more than vinegary yellow mustard, with ground onion and a bit of pickle relish in it. On the way home to Brooklyn all we could talk about was how there hot dogs could not hold a candle to Mill Basin Deli's dogs. Sun Jan 22 10:12:53 -0800 2006 1320944 0 Cheffem 6 1320967 > lol i liked this typo 'cause i hoped you meant 'cereal dogs' and not 'feral dogs'! ;) Sun Jan 22 10:46:07 -0800 2006 1320961 0 redgirl 7 1321089 I've been to Rutt's Hut, and believe me - feral dogs would be more like it. Mon Jan 23 22:58:37 -0800 2006 1320967 0 Janet 6 1321073 Did Mill Basin Deli change hands ? Mon Jan 23 17:25:47 -0800 2006 1320961 0 Foodie at large 1 1320925 What about David's Brisket House in Bed-Stuy (Nostrand & Fulton)? Big Jim used to push this place strongly. Passed it today but didn't look in. Is it still any good? Sat Jan 21 18:35:43 -0800 2006 1320896 0 Norman D. Brie 1 1320931 there used to be 'essex house' on coney island ave. near ave. J (2 doors down from the orchard..s.ame block as olympic pita)...but they had a big fire over the summer. however, they are very close to reopening and should be open by early feb. Sat Jan 21 19:07:27 -0800 2006 1320896 0 redgirl 2 1321082 Unfortunately, they are no good -- at least they weren't before the fire. Mon Jan 23 20:47:21 -0800 2006 1320931 0 uncle moishy 3 1321085 beg to differ. good soup and a pretty decent corned beef sandwich. and good 'dogs. Mon Jan 23 22:03:33 -0800 2006 1321082 0 redgirl 4 1321655 As do I. It was called "Essex on Coney" and it's a fantastic kosher deli. Sat Feb 04 11:46:17 -0800 2006 1321085 0 jr03000 1 1321131 I have to say Jay and Lloyd's is my call. They have the best combination of everything you want in a good deli. Personally, I am not enamored with Mill Basin Deli. Adelman's has poor food and mediocre sandwiches, but excellent fries and perhaps the best hot dogs. There is another deli on Ave. P near McDonald Ave. whose name I forget (it may be Paul's or something to that effect). They have, hands down, the best deli sandwiches in Brooklyn. However, their fries and knishes are so lacking that it makes it difficult to go there often. Wed Jan 25 09:33:40 -0800 2006 1320896 0 Matt M.
