I think that I can safely say that my favorite food establishment in the world is Nana's Deli. It is a small, Jewish/Italian neighborhood deli that has been serving up delicious and fresh food for my entire life. Everything they make is homemade, ranging from deli meats, entrees, and desserts. Personal favorites of mine include the following:
The Sloppy Joe- This is my all time favorite sandwich. And no, it is not chopped meat in gravy on bread. The North Jersey Sloppy Joe is a triple decker sandwich- corned beef, roast beef, and turkey on thinly sliced rye bread, with russian dressing and cole slaw. This is a sandwich I grew up with, and one that I have to explain to all of my friends that do not live in the area. When they try it, they become just as hooked as I am.
Nana's Tuna- The most delicious tuna I've ever had. Its somewhat sweet, and I love it on an onion roll with lettuce and tomato
Bow-tie pasta salad- Bow-tie pasta, garlic, spinich, pine nuts...amazing
Ruggelach and triple chocolate cake- Oftentimes found on the same platter, these two desserts are fresh baked, moist, and heavenly
Honorable mentions: Chopped liver, sour cream chicken, bok choy salad
Those are my Nana's greatest hits. I know many people have the same affinity for Nana's that I do. Feel free to share your favorites!
