Default New York Deli in Fruitland Park

Last weekend while taking a ride passed by this restaurant.

As a former NYer greatly miss good deli food like pastrami and corned beef.

We were not hungry or probably would have stopped by.

Any comments on this place either good or bad?
Thanks

Been there a few times, nothing special, not even close to the NY delis I frequented while working in Manhattan...

Cornbeef on Rye with hot mustard was pretty good.

Agreed! I have to trek to Tampa or St. Pete for decent NY, Kosher style, deli.

I make a day of it... Yankee game and deli.

NY Food cliches after the of 1970s is not NY anymore, those days are gone....
In other words - The original taste of NY food is a thing of the pass it's all a make believe JUNK just like everything else...

I'm no expert on deli's, but Mazzarro's Italian Market in St. Petersburg is so popular it's even included in the AAA bus tours to the Salvador Dali Museum.

Mazzaros Italian Market 2909 22nd Avenue North, St Petersburg, FL 33713

I went to high school a half mile from this place, St. Petersburg High.

According to the Manhattan Special Facebook page, they have a retail locator. It shows two places near us, it's not Mazarro's but Cesarina Deli & Bakery 2575 E Bay Dr, Largo, FL 33771, that's between St. Pete and Clearwater.

The other Paul's Italian Deli & Restaurant 812 E Vine St, Kissimmee, FL 34744, that's near Disney World.

Mazzaro's spectacular Italian deli, looking for the equivalent of a NY Jewish deli
