Good Jewish Deli in Mercer County area?

[gbean]

Or a venue that serves decent corned beef or pastrami sandwiches?

Jack Coopers is now closed

oy...I learned that the hard way a few weeks ago when I drove there to find the windows papered over.
Very depressing. Even with the ownership changes they had undergone in recent years, it was still a decent place and not overpriced. Looks like Harold$ Deli is the only option now in the Edison area.
So sad.

The closest deli (Kosher and 'Jewish') would be Lox Stock and Deli which is on Ryders Ln in East Brunswick. That is a bit of a drive. They make good corned beef and pastrami.

There is a deli counter in ShopRite for take out (also kosher) and Whole Foods does a good job as well (neither kosher nor 'jewish'). Both are take out.

Somthing else to consider is A&G Italian deli in Plainsboro Town Center. http://www.agfinefoods.com/ Not a jewish deli, and for sure not kosher or even kosher style. But they make great sandwhiches.

Folks here have commented on Harolds. Indeed it is good and worth a trip at some point. As for Jack Coopers, we went there recently and while it was good at one time. That time is long gone.

I don’t know if it’s kosher or even Jewish, but Ben’s deli on Bridge St. in Morrisville, PA always had good corned beef and pastrami among other things.

Thanks, I know where that is--I'll give it a try. There's really no Katz's-type (nyc) delis in this area!

Right you are, when we want our fix we drive 45 minutes to Harold's in the Raritan Center.

Unfortunately I can't seem to convince others that it's worth a 45 min drive....they don't seem to get it!

[The Professor]

Even better than Harold's (considerably better according to most, and less expensive) is Jack Cooper's, about a mile and a half away from Harold's.

But really, either one of these places is definitely worth a 45 minute drive. I suggest Shanghai-ing them into the trip, by force if necessary...they will probably become converts after a good, real deli meal.

Back in my working days we would have Jack Cooper's ship deli in to our office in southern California. The meats and sides were all very satisfying, a bunch of Sloppy Joe's never did well on an overnight shipment, though. If I were in the area, though, I wouldn't hesitate to visit Jack Cooper's for a deli fix.
