Have an Ice Cream Sundae at Benjies New York Deli

It's summer, and time for ICE CREAM!

Finally! Summer’s here, and it’s not messing around. It’s been HOT. And there’s nothing better to cool you down than some cold ice cream.

Don’t wait for the ice-cream truck to come down your street, especially if you’ve got a day job. They rarely stop by office buildings (but hey, what a great idea!), so why not come down to Benjies New York Deli at lunch for a special treat. Have something small for lunch, like some latkes, or healthy, like a salad, and splurge on dessert.

We’ve got a lot of ice-cream drinks to choose from, including old-fashioned milkshakes served in the metal shaker (like they should be!). We also serve ice-cream sodas in chocolate, strawberry, cherry or vanilla flavors and the old favorite: a root-beer float. You can choose root beer or Coca-Cola® with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Remember having an egg cream as a kid? Well, Benjies New York Deli still makes them by hand, with milk, chocolate syrup and seltzer–is your mouth watering yet? (more…)

Watch Lakers Playoff Games at Benjies Deli and the Bamboo Lounge

The Lakers are 1-0 in the final series of the playoffs and it’s looking good. They’ve finally got in a groove on defense. But probably the most comforting aspect of the game for me was that Doc River’s strategy was to stop Kobe. Not only did the Celtics fail at stopping Kobe—for the most part—but Kobe was only part of their problem. Kobe and Gasol, the gruesome twosome, had a combined 53 points in the game and kept linking up. The entire Lakers triangle offense kept the entire team scoring well. The Celtics brought their own renowned defense to the game along with intensity, but it wasn’t anywhere near enough. The next game should be closer in scoring, considering the Celtics will be more reluctant to allow their big three to get into foul trouble early.

We still have our work cut out for us if we want to pull this series off, but we’re off to an optimistic start. That being said, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t dress up head to toe in gold and purple for Sunday’s game and come to Benjies Deli to be with your friends. Enjoy some of their new Kobe Beef Sliders and watch the Celtics fail at stopping one of Kobe’s runs. (more…)
