    Try to avoid coming in between 12:15-1... if you're looking to avoid the crowds that is... but right after that things are pretty clear starting around 1:00.

    The knish--mashed potatoes surrounding a succulent mound of meat--is incomparable.

    My six year old son gave Manny's Deli the highest compliment. He said "It's better than McDonald's!" Whoa!

    Fabulous meat sandwiches, need new approach for water. Cone chalices are not cutting it.

    In this city, corned beef on rye spells clout, and Manny’s packs enough briny beef to feed a ward. Read more

    Everyone loves the corned beef, but next time try something original like beef stew or meat loaf.

    Awful food. Hot food was not hot. Bland meatloaf, bland gravy. Cookie so hard that it literally hurt the inside of my mouth.
