Jason's Deli: What you know about that?

“Hey buddy, what can I get for ya’s.”  This phrase is of course spoken to you in a thick and rough New York Queens accent.  Well, that isn’t what you hear when you go to Jason’s Deli but you almost expect to.  They have a great sign out front that is plain but clearly states what the establishment is and who owns it; it is a deli and Jason owns it…oh.  Well, that is original Jason, did you outsource naming your restaurant to an advertising or marketing company?  I mean, honestly, you couldn't have come up with something a little more original than that?  You walk along the street in Paris and they have names like pastry shop, bread shop, or dessert shop, and you just took one of those and threw your name in front of it.  I'm just teasing you Jason of Jason's Deli; actually I think you get the reaction that you wanted from a name like that.  Namely, one of homespun comfort and welcomness.

When you walk in, especially at lunch time, you are met by a line of families and friends who have all come to get a great sandwich and enjoy the experience while they are there.  Have you ever walked into a sandwich place and stood in an awkward line that is wide open to the rest of the joint and you fidget around trying to figure how to stand, where to look at, and what to think?  Well, I have been there many times and it can be unsettling.  Jason however has made the line separate from the restaurant and has placed some photographs of the trendiest places in Europe which give you and those around you some good topics for conversation.  Not to mention you can check out the cute girl in front of you by pretending you are admiring the beautiful presence of the arc de triomphe; she is none the smarter.  It is a great place to take a date, because of its inviting aura and laid back layout.  Do be careful, because of its trendiness you will see trendy people there; especially the guy wearing the rhinestone sunglasses inside and the too-cool for school college kids gracing the world with their presence.  In Jason’s deli, everybody becomes family and everybody in a sense can be trendy just for eating there!  Awesome Bro!

The sandwich selection is great and the meat is fresh.  They make sure that you get your food in a timely manner and it is nice that you can sit down while you are waiting.  Of course the television in the corner showing ESPN and last night’s All-Star game is a definite plus.  The price is great as well.  If you have a few minutes to spare to wait in line and you are looking for a hearty, fun, and light experience all in one, check this place out.  If you see Jason let me know; and complement him on his great deli.
