  I used to l live about a 2 minute walk from Snowdon Deli, not only is it easily some of the best smoked meat in the city, the cucumber salad is out of this world, the fries are excellent, the party sandwiches an essential when going on car trips for me… I’m really glad the pandemic didn’t kill it I’ve literally been going there my entire life.

  Sad to admit, I lived even closer to Snowdon Deli than you, Tux, for several years when I was a kid – and we never went. Not once. The main thing we knew about the place was that customers would try to illegally park in the lot adjoining where we lived, and it was part of my father’s job to try to keep them out. So there was an ongoing strife about it.

  It was hardly the deli’s fault, but because of their location I think it was difficult for customers to find a place to park, and right beside the building we lived in, on the same corner, was a parking lot that was often (but not always) invitingly empty. (If my father had been more enterprising, he could’ve charged them, and pocketed the proceeds.)

  I still haven’t been to Snowdon Deli, largely because I rarely have any reason to visit that part of town any more. Should try it sometime.

  I’ve only been once but was extremely impressed with how good the food was. I wish it were closer to where I live, I’d go all the time!

  It’s a hop, skip, and a jump from Snowdon metro. Absolutely worth the trip.
