I'll second that. After several trys, I gave up on it. Oh, yes, they have all
the trappings - the bowl of pickles, menu items, etc. - but it's the delivery,
not the windup, that counts. Wish I had a good substitute to recommend, but I
don't. There used to be the New York Deli right around the corner from
Hofbergs, in a little shopping center just off Randolph Rd. a block farther
east toward Rockville Pike, but I seem to remember looking for it once, only to
see something else in its place. Their sandwiches seemed to be generous and
quite "traditional".
