There were some damn good meals this month. But I still find myself dreaming of the Pastrami Sandwich and Potato Pancake combo I got at Manny's. The pastrami, glistening and piled on top of rye bread with the potato onion puck of carbohydrate beside it. It was a meal so good looking that it became the profile picture of The Lunchtime Diaries facebook fan page. While the meal looked good, it tasted even better. I shoveled forkful after forkful of pastrami into my gullet.
I’ve been back to Manny’s three more times since that first visit and those fuckers are consistent. There are photographic memories and then there are photographic meals. Every meal I’ve gotten there has been as good as the time before. They have yet to disappoint me and for that they fully deserve Restaurant of The Month.
