Considering I have never been to New York (but certainly want to
visit sometime) I can not speak to the authenticity of Cindi's NY
Delicatessen, but I give BIG Kudos to the Dallas eatery.

| Cindi's downtown Dallas location - 306 South Houston St. |
Visiting downtown Dallas is not something I do often, but I have on several occasions for motorcycle events, concerts and sightseeing. I enjoy going early enough to get a good breakfast. Years ago I discovered a small New York style deli that I put on the top of my list for breakfast.
On one particular occasion my friend, Mac, and I arrived at the simple building housing Cindi's. We were greeted with a smile and told to sit wherever we wanted. The server quickly presented us with menus and took our drink order.
The menu is full of standard breakfast choices as well as a lot I had never seen (I suppose they were standard items at a NY deli) i.e. Lox & eggs, Matzo Brie, Cheese Blintzes and Latkes. Making a decision took some time and a few questions for the server.
Mac ordered the Deli Omelette (corned beef and pastrami) hash browns and a bagel. I opted for the French toast with one egg and sausage. It did not take very long until our food was served hot and fresh.

Mac's
omelette was served "pancake style" - folded over it self creating 4
layers. The meats were flavorful and complimented the eggs. The
omelette and hash browns were enough to fill him up so he had to take
the multi-grain bagel with him. Mac commented, "this is the best omelette I have ever had" and I know for a fact he has eaten a lot of omelettes.

My
French toast were made with thick Texas sliced bread, cooked to a
golden brown & yellow and sprinkled with powered sugar. Six slices
to the order! The texture and flavor of the toast lived up to my high
anticipation. They tasted as good as they looked. The egg and sausage
were fresh and high quality. I finished it all. Good thing I did -
when I paid out the various pastries at the counter were very tempting.

We
both left completely satisfied and looking forward to returning in the
future. We met up with some friends for the day and around noon we began discussing lunch plans. None
of us wanted to drive somewhere only to drive back and pay the crazy
cost of parking so we discussed options within walking distance of the
show.
Mac and I mentioned Cindi's along with our praises for the breakfast we had. Everyone was agreeable so we walked to Cindi's. Once again no one was disappointed. Two pastrami Reuben sandwiches, one corned beef Reuben, one turkey Reuben and one turkey burger were ordered. I had sweet potato fries with my turkey Reuben.

The
Rye bread was grilled with a little butter, the turkey was thinly
sliced, the Swiss cheese was a flavorful, but not strong and the
sauerkraut topped the sandwich off perfectly. The slaw had a fresh and
traditional flavor. I ordered the sweet potato fries crispy, which they
arrived as ordered.
Once again the meal was filling and although the fresh pastries and desserts (cheesecake, key lime pie and cookies) were tempting I just did not have any more room.

The lunch was awesome. Great food, good friends and a lot of laughter. If you are needing to eat with in downtown Dallas I highly recommend Cindi's.
Ride carefully and prayerfully!
