The next time you're in Murray Hill in the daylight and it's not from walking home just as Joshua Tree is closing, check out this great Jewish deli called Sarge's on 3rd and 37th.
Colorful side note: Joshua Tree
(or any Murray Hill bar on 3rd ave) =
the last resort bar in NYC if during a night out you haven't yet:
A- met any out-of-towners
B- met any iBankers in popped-collars
Also, if you go out in the City
and don't meet the two above mentioned types then
I'd really like to know where the heck are you going out
and how are you getting your drinks paid for exactly?
Moving on.... Sarge's is a small dive of a deli but the service is fast and friendly, even the Yenta-Miss Havisham waitress who was there when the deli opened in 1964. She somehow survived the 60's and now can balance a platter of potato pancakes, matzoh ball soup, and a cheeseburger without stumbling in her heels.
They also deliver and are open twenty-four hours. Get the warm kugel for dessert or even as meal. On the menu it says it serves two, but I somehow bypassed that note because it was so good the entire dish served just my stomach alone in under five minutes. Now that's good service!
(If you're in the mood to satisfy your inner Jew then try Ben's Deli in midtown and Katz's in the Lower East Side.)
