It is a toss up for me between Mike Deli near Crescent Ave and Leebman's on Johnson Ave, both are locate in the Bronx.
I'm sorry I missed this post, Giacomo.
Anyway, those spots are night and day. But equally fantastic. It all depends what you're in the mood for. I've posted about my love for Mike's deli ad nauseam here in the past. Leibman's is great, though.
When I was in college I worked a Stella D'oro route. Of course, this was about 35 years ago when Stella D'oro was still in their landmark location on 237th, just off the Deegan. So I ate there quite a bit.
Italian cookies from Stella D'oro for breakfast, Jewish deli from Leibman's for lunch. Tell me that's not a New York story
