Decent deli is an endangered cuisine. Even in New York there are really only about a half dozen places that do it right. You can't always get to Katz's; the Carnegie is always jammed, and is a bit of a tourist trap (and expensive). Juniors would be great if it was in Buffalo. It is dependable, but not transcendent. One hears this and that about the new Second Avenue Deli, but I haven't been yet. There are a couple of others in the Diamond District and uptown, but dependable pastrami is just not something you can count on. I sort of had it in mind to maybe try the Rascal House in Miami once the state voted Blue, and now it's not an option. How hilarious that UB Tax professor Ken Joyce was present at the end. I feel like I should ring him up and find out if there is a secret deli around here that I should know about. Probably not, but you never know.
