‘Tis the Season for Benjies New York Deli

Our smoked fish tray is a popular one for parties, especially around the holidays!

There is so much going on in November and December—Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas—and Benjies Deli can help you with it all. What about the NFL and Monday Night Football? We’ve got it covered. We can’t help break the NBA standoff between players and owners, as that seems impossible even for them to sort out! We miss you, Lakers…

But back to celebrating the season, whether that be family holidays or sports! Thanksgiving is coming up, and many people have family in town for the whole weekend. Now, if you’ve spent hours (or even days) preparing a humongous turkey dinner for 25 people, the last thing you want to do for the rest of the weekend is cook. And, let’s be honest, there’s only so much turkey that a human can eat. Call Benjies! Make sure you call in an order for a selection from our hot dinners, served with potatoes, vegetables, salad,  rolls and butter. Choose from roast brisket of beef with potato pancakes, corned beef and cabbage, roast chicken, roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, meatloaf and gravy and Swiss steak. Make sure you call us BEFORE Thanksgiving though, as these orders usually need 72 hours advance notice. (more…)

Green Bay Packers kick off the season vs. New Orleans Saints!

Yes, it’s that time again—time for the bone-crushing gladiator battle that is NFL football. And Benjies Deli has all the action, thanks to the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket package. Did you know that we can watch up to eight games on one of the six TVs we’ve got in the Bamboo Lounge? That every game will be in HD? That the Sunday Ticket gives us REDZONE, where every play from within the 20-yard line is highlighted and in HD? We can even get an update on your favorite players and get replays of all the NFL Sunday game highlights during the week! In a word, it’s awesome.

Tonight’s game against the New Orleans Saints at the Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field is sure to be a fantastic, action-packed contest with superb entertainment from the likes of Kid Rock and Lady Antebellum. (more…)

Catered Company Lunches from Benjies!

Know why big companies and corporations like Google provide on-site food options for their employees? Statistics have shown that aside from caring for their employees’ well being (of course), employers choose to provide on-site lunch options for their employees to increase productivity. Workers who eat on campus feel happy to have a free meal provided by the bosses, and are in turn likely to be happier when they return to their desks and work.

Finals Playoffs at Benjies Deli!

What a season it has been for the NBA Playoffs! Even though our favorite team, the LA Lakers, has been out, Benjies Deli is still enjoying watching the finals as two of the best teams, the Heat and the Mavericks, go head to head for the title of championship. It’s been a spectacular series, with the Heat currently leading the scoreboard at 2-1, but the Mavericks still look like they’ve got a lot of game to give the Heat a run for their money. The Mavericks have fought back with great defense, limiting the almost-unstoppable LeBron James and slowing down even MVP Dwayne Wade. We think we’ve still got a couple more games of high competition and extraordinary team execution.
