Michael's Deli - Brookline - apparently sold

I was told Michael sold and will be leaving after a few week transition period. Have no idea what this means for the place. Who knows, they may allow you to sit and read and they may take credit cards again. I love the food but Michael is an acquired taste that some find distasteful.

    With luck, the new owner will keep the corned beef recipe but opt to serve decent sandwich bread. I prefer my corned beef on rye, but the Pullman loaves at Michaels's were awful, WonderBread-grade junk. Decent Kaiser rolls were all that saved it for me.

      The credit card thing would be nice, but I never minded his no-reading policy. The place has, what, five tables?

      As long as nobody messes with the chicken salad club and they still sell Cel-Ray, I'm fine with this.
