Second North Deli

London Broil Sandwich

I've always wanted to try the Second North Deli at the corner of Second North and Wolf Streets. Today my car was overheating and I had it towed off to Dr. Fish the Mechanic. I was in Mattydale and decided to walk as far as I could down Route 11, which is Wolf Street in Syracuse. I made it for 1.7 miles, just as far as the deli.

It's a place where you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I got the house specialty, a London broil sandwich for $6.95. It comes with sauteed onions, bell peppers and mushrooms on top, though you can easily leave any of those off. There is a small container of au jus gravy. This is what I would call a French Dip sandwich. It was a guilty pleasure. I loved it. Meat was tender, the peppers, onions and mushrooms were cooked just enough that they were nice and mellow. Bread soaked up the juice nicely. I would go here again.

They also have a full bar!

A lot of people get takeout here, while I had lunch they were doing a steady business.

They have a web page Second North Deli which is pretty good. It's actually a blogger blog, and they just have photos, their menu (in HTML), their hours, their location and phone number. That is important because if you are on your phone you can still read the menu and call them!

They have a link to their youtube ad and their facebook page. The photo slide show on the first page takes a little too long to load but other than that it's perfect.

The other thing that is perfect is this local commercial for them, which shows people who probably really eat there and gives you a very good idea of what it is like.
