westchester deli's
in my quest to find a really good deli in westchester, i have been using chicken cutlet sandwiches on a roll w/ mayo l&t as a yardstick. unfortunately, few places make a better than the next place. any ideas would be appreciated. the other reason is today i stopped at wolf's lane deli in pelham, and came away impressed. good size fairly well seasoned and a very good roll. anyone else been there and how are their other foods (must say it looked very good).

Being that was my go to lunch when I wasn't sure what I wanted, I can tell you, Maple Street Deli in Scarsdale is the best for that. Generally, soft rolls, juicy thick chicken cutlets, fresh veggies and not too much mayo (even though to me that is an oxymoron). They also have delicious rotating hot meals, such as chicken francese and chicken marsala (which are better than 80-90% of the Italian restaurants in the area (and the owners are Spanish). They have a stuffed pork loin that is amazing and pretty much all their hot stuff very good. They have some interesting wraps. I usually stay away from cold cuts, so can't really comment on freshness, etc..

From a February post:
"BUT... if you go "inland" from Tarrytown on 119 about 10 minutes, past the Elmsford intersection, to the Stapes shopping center on the left (also off exit 4 of 287) There's a non-descript place in the center called Frank's Food Court. What a bad name. But it is a large deli with a great selection of nicely prepared stuff. Worth a try.
Also, now that I think of it, there's a deli on 119 in Tarrytown, roughly across from the Mariott, called The Wedge Deli. Stands alone, off the road but visible on the north side. Very nice selection of on-site prepared stuff, cold and hot. Try the Wedge first."

I've commented on this deli before, and the way I discovered it was by following the advice of the Ready-Mix drivers on their quest (and mine) for a great lunch. My recommendation is strictly for LUNCH, and for HOT sandwiches only. As for anything else, you're on your own. It's been a while since I've been there, but I hope the quality is still the same for their EXCELLENT sandwiches. Try Edgeland Deli in Port Chester. My sandwich choice was always the same -- it was basically a chicken parm hero sans sauce: breaded and fried chicken cutlet, mozzarella cheese, fried sweet cubanelle peppers, on a seeded hero.

Wolf's Lane Deli is quite good. Everything I have had there has been good or better. I also like the deli section in the DeCicco's in Pelham, They will make sandwiches for you there, and while I have never tried the chicken cutlet there, it does look delicious. Their chicken salad is out of this world - simply made and fresh.

re: vinouspleasure
Deli Delicious...RIP. They did a good business back in the day! Not sure what happened. I used to get a "Mainz": corned beef, smoked turkey, cole slaw, maybe swiss, Russian dressing on Rye. Awesome! They changed their style in the millenium, more panini's & wraps, which were still good, as well as the hot (usually Italian) food. It was convenient & usually parking was available, hope something else goes into that location, there really isn't any other place in that immediate area to get a quick sandwich.

re: vinouspleasure
not limited to that by any means, but some good prep will make for a better one at one place than the other, a good italian combo is great but most use boars head, so the only real difference is what they put on, and yes the bread. so just using as an introduction/first try.that is also why i asked if anyon else has tried wolf's lane

Have you tried Lange's in Scarsdale Village? They have excellent grilled chicken sandwiches.

re: cubanat
you mean you never went to disco deli *L* although it hasn't been that in years. used to work just down the street from there and (mid 80's?) they always had disco music blasting - hence the name, at the time they used to make a really good italian combo, one of the "secrets" was some fried eggplant, it really does work on a good combo

re: Dim Sum Diva
Hi Dim Sum Diva,
I am the former owner of Wrappsody in White Plains. Someone had sent me a link to your comments a few years back about Wrappsody. I was glad to here that we made people happy and my wife and I morn the loss as well. We still do catering from time to time. I would be more than happy to let you know what really happened to wrappsody or just share stories. Thanks again for the memories.-
re: dextor74
Dextor: Thanks for posting! Still miss you guys and still have fond memories of your paella wrap and the moo shu wrap, among others. My guess is you either had issues with your landlord (because it's almost impossible to make a go around here if you don't own the place) or the city (because WP requires more permits, inspections and what-not than any other town around). Have you considered opening elsewhere around here?

re: Dim Sum Diva
Hi Dim Sum, You nailed it right on the head. It ended up costing 50% more to open in WP because of the way the city works. Also we had major landlord issues. Most noticeable a suit 10 days after 9/11 that lasted 6 months and ultimately caused our closing. Not a day goes by that we do not think of opening again. Thank you again for your warm memories.
