Moving to queens recently I have had a little bit of cultural shock. yes there are alot more condensed areas to shop and the food overall is probably better mostly because of the amount of quality eats to area their in, However the one thing that was missing was a very good deli.
Long Island has tons of delis that serve fresh cold cuts and home made pastas and food made to order with wide selections to choose from. Queens however seems to be inhabited by nothing but bodegas which are fine to get some quick groceries and stuff for the house but the tiny little slicer in the corner leaves alot to be desired in the sandwich department.
When I walked into Manor I felt like I was home. The typical site of a long deli station filled with meats and cheeses from one end of the store to the other almost made my knees weak.
They make their own fresh macaroni and potato salads which are extremely good as well as all the other salds (egg tuna etc) They have fresh meals you can order to take home and the prices for the sandwiches are very low but the quality is always fresh. Manor Deli made settling into Queens so much easier.
