Boychik's Deli turned out to be the perfect place to meet a group of friends for a mid-morning, weekday breakfast. A friend of ours suggested it. What a great idea! It was simple to get to the deli and easy enough to find a good parking spot. It was surprisingly busy for 9 a.m. on a Monday! Boychik's Deli did not disappoint. They easily accommodated our group of eight … [Read more...] about Boychik’s Deli
