kimberkitOMG, guys, I just discovered my new favorite old-style sit-down deli: Lansky's, on Columbus, between 70th and 71st.
The matzo ball soup was to die for: they didn't cheat with the stock (real chicken), the carrots were sweet, the noodles soft, and the matzo ball itself was light and fluffy, not at all mealy. Their hand-battered onion rings are gorgeous -- huge, crispy, with perfect, naturally sweet onions at the center. Their mac and cheese was creamy, with no strange adulterations, and a nice, not-overly-breaded crust at the top. Their pastrami was dark, not too fatty (but with the delicious marbling that is perfect), and with rye, it was delicious.
My stomach hurts from all the eating.

sir_graeme, you would love it, and adularia, it's possibly better than Chat 'n Chew, and I thought Chat 'n Chew was awesome.

Nina and I had dinner at Lansky's yesterday, on your recommendation. Oh, man...so much flavor! I had the matzoh ball soup and half a pastrami sandwich, Nina had a grilled cheese and pastrami sandwich, and we split a (HUGE) dessert platter. You can tell that they use fresh, quality ingredients. The prices are very reasonable, too. Thank you for pointing us in that direction!
