8 Best Delis in Uniondale

“I started going to Jim's in the early 90's. This would be the spot I would hit with Uniondale natives Leaders of the New School before hitting Chung King Studio in NYC to be deafened by Busta Rhymes turning those 15 inch studio speakers up to 10 🤣.

My go to was the hot pastrami on a hero. I didn't think it was a better sandwich in the world.

As the years went on, I still visited this deli. It always was a familiar neighborhood staple. It even kept the same aesthetic.

What was super impressive is they knew the regulars by name and what they wanted to order. All you had to do was show up.

I visited today and was hit with a whole new Jim's. The old cash register on the left is now a hot food station. Said cash registers now on the right with an LCD readout.

There is a coffee station in the middle of the floor. Chairs and walking space occupied this space prior. This now places a wall in the middle of the floor. Although it disrupts the Feng shui, clearly a functional because there's a lot of coffee options. That goes great with the bagel and pastry selections that have been added as well.

They have seem to expanded those pastry options. As well as added fresh bagels at 12 for 9 dollars

The worker that helped me today was very attentive and a Uniondale native as well.

The new owners kept some familiar elements like the extensive custom sandwiches brightly displayed on LCD screens. But a lot of it has changed and the new owners definitely made it their own.

It's nice to be greeted with a bright and clean establishment that sells food. That is one of the things I look for.

I will definitely visit again and see it It lives up to that Jim's legacy“
