My Jersey Pastrami research project continues. I still have Lox, Stock, and Deli as number 1. Harold's was close, but not quite as good, and more expensive. There's one called Pastrami and Pickles, not as good as those 2. Next on my list to try is Goldman's Deli and Restaurant in Berkely Heights, but having trouble getting there during hours they're open.
And...hi. (Velvets!!!!!)
