Best brunch ..

by beijingseth at Citysearch

Best Brunch in area.

I remember the old place. It had good pastrami and that was all. This past weekend I was told by a neighbor about the remodeled restaurant. What a pleasant surprise. Everything was good and affordable during theses times of unemployment. Hate spending it all at 202. . The eggs smoked salmon on potato pancake was very good. My partner had the pancakes. As sweet and fluffy as he.

Cute waiter new to town was honest and helpful. Would have loved a Bloody Mary. Soon to come I was told.

Will definetly be back...

Over-cooked

by kyoung116 at Citysearch

The Friedman's Deli definition of Kosher must mean cook it until it's burnt to a crisp.

One of the first things you may notice when you walk in are the dried up hot dogs behind the register. They keep them sitting on foil on a cold grill. I'm guessing they don't want to dirty the grill unnecessarily. No, they do not re-heat the dogs, they just serve them cold, burnt, and wrinkly.

Chicken fingers...don't forget to bring your steak knife. They cook their fingers so long, that they become so hard and dry, it feels like you're eating balsa wood.

Pastrami...dry. Katz's deli they are not even close.

Hopefully someone at Friedman's reads this and tries eating their own food.

• Pros: Friendly staff
• Cons: Food

AMAAAAZING FOOD!

by alferens at Citysearch

All I can say about anything I've ever eaten here is that it's like a party in your mouth! Great if you're in the mood for a filling meal (the pastrami is out of this world!), or even if you just feel like a nosh (knishes, pickles, grilled veggies, french fries, sweet potato fries, YUUMMMY!!). Staff is friendly, quick and very attentive. And they're open late too, so it's a great place for lunch OR dinner.

• Pros: Great location in Chelsea, friendly staff, food to die for!
