My Place Deli

How can you give a deli like this a low rating. It is a hole in the wall deli where you can get a cheap cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich? No frills, is was it is…
The reason I rushed into work to write this review was to say that the owner of the deli who works the register is just the nicest, happiest man I have ever come in contact with… probably anywhere… His smile and friendliness in the morning is so refreshing and should be an example for every business should run.

My Place Deli knew what they were doing when they set up shop. They knew that years later I would get a job that would require me to walk right by them on my way to the office. They knew that I get too drunk too often, and then need some grease the next day.
This is all an elaborate conspiracy to feed me mediocre breakfast sandwiches.
The ordering system is comical. I order my bacon, egg and cheese, and the cashier turns to the guy by the grill (standing 2 feet away, who was also staring at me, and heard what I said) and says, «Bacon, egg and cheese.»
I ask the grill guy if he could put salt, pepper and ketchup on that. The cashier turns to him and says, «Salt, pepper and ketchup.»
Someday this grill man is going to snap. One morning I’ll be in there hungover, waiting for my second-​rate sandwich with neon cheese and soggy bacon, and he’s going to turn around and scream, «I heard him motherf*cker! I’m standing right f*cking here!»
Then My Place Deli might get a third star from me. But probably not.

My Place is essentially a hole in the wall deli and certainly one of the smallest on the block. Most folks wouldn’t know to classify this place as a deli or a convenience store. There are no tables here as its primarily a take out /​delivery joint. It’s so tiny that most apartments are bigger than this place. Any more than three people here could result in some serious claustrophobia.
Aside from the occasional drink (coffee, gatorade, etc.), they also serve food here. Really bad food though, not one that I’m impressed with at all unfortunately. A breakfast platter is usually about $ 5 and sandwiches are roughly the same. Corned Beef Hash comes from a can and the lettuce/​tomato for the sandwiches aren’t always fresh.
It’s a blessing that they have good service here or I wouldn’t have come at all. Prices are fair and expectedly they don’t take credit card. The place has a lot of character but needs so much more work.
