Artie's New York Deli

  • May 10, 2004
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Carmen from Fairfax, Virginia
I was on the hunt for a New York bagel with a schmear of cream cheese for breakfast. (Did I spell that right? Obviously I’m not Jewish. Sorry.) I was led to H&H Bagels, but they must only sell in bulk because they wouldn’t put cream cheese on the bagel and there was no place to sit and eat it. So I passed on that NY tradition and went down the street to Artie’s. Turns out, they served H&H bagles –- among other things -– and I quickly sat down and ordered one plain toasted bagel with cream cheese. In addition, I ordered a side plate of potato pancakes.

While waiting for breakfast, the waiter entertained my colleague and I with stories of Artie’s famous deli meats (some fancy new york recipie for pastrami was handed down or something. He was so excited, I couldn’t keep up.) and how good all the deli sandwiches are. (see more at www.arties.com) I don’t know about the deli sandwiches, but the bagel and potato pancakes were good enough to bring me back another day for more. The bagel was chewy and warm with soothing cream cheese, and the potato pancakes were crisp and yummy and served with applesauce and sour cream. Yum!

If you’ll look at the pictures on the website, you’ll notice it looks like an old-timey diner. The look of the whole place said, "It’s 1950; come in and relax and eat!" And it was cheap too (price, not quality). The total came to $12 with tip ($9.50 for the potato pancakes, the bagel, a glass of milk, and a glass of OJ.) I give Artie's a 9 for its breakfast food, an 8 for the service, and an 8 for the ambience.
