So far the new year has been off to a great start.  Thanks to Melanie, and her hard work on FaceBook and Ruby Thompson, for beating the pavement to keep our name in the minds of all downotwn lunch-goers.  In addition to the loyal following we have built up, we are seeing lots of new faces in over the last few weeks.  The story I hear over the counter, even from those who work in the area, is "I didn't even know you guys were here!"  Which tells me that we still have a way to go.  I won't be satisfied until everyone knows about us.  If you ask anyone in town about the Brooklyn Pickle, everyone knows exactly what you're talking about.  Someday that will be DARWIN.  And, we'll get there.  Thanks to all of your support and great word of mouth.  We'll keep working hard until all of Syracuse knows we're here, and then we'll move on to letting the rest of the world know  ;)  We will ride this second wave toward making that dream come true...

So, sandwich #49 makes its debut this week.  Our HOT PASTRAMI.  We've been wanting to try this sandwich since the beginning.  And, believe it or not, it wasn't until last week that I found a product worthy of our customers.  The real deal stuff, none of this processed deli crap.  People are very particular about their pastrami, and we want to make even the most diehard NYC deli fan proud.  We're hoping for the best.  Also, new salad options will be rotating in over this next week.  Starting with our Julienne and then moving toward some type of wedge or hearts of romaine salad by the end of the week.  Also, our first new side in a while:  Sweet Potato Fries.  YUM!  So, all of that plus a return of a few favorites...  The Marylands Back (for Susan), and Ms. Vanessa, the birds are back from Pear-A-Dise.  ;)

We are concentrating on boosting up our breakfast options.  Yes, we are open for breakfast.  Melanie makes a mean breakfast pizza, for those of you who don't know, and Davey and I are hard at work on finding some delicious local baked goods.  Any suggestions? As well as our breakfast sandwiches (Cheap morning eats), fresh squeezed OJ, fresh Paul DeLima coffee, and our signature frosted scones.  Come check it out some morning.

Make sure to sign up for our weekly E-mail/Fax List when you are in the shop.
 
And, stay tuned as we continue to bring classic dishes from around the country right here to the backyard of Syracuse.
And, as always... we look forward to seeing you at the counter...
