Summer Starts at the Deli: Why New York-Style Comfort Food Hits Different This Time of Year

When summer rolls around, everyone starts looking for the same things:
good food, easy gatherings, quick meals, road trip snacks, catering for parties, and a reason to avoid cooking in a hot kitchen.

That’s where the deli comes in.

At Mikey & Mel’s Famous Deli, summer means overstuffed sandwiches, fresh bagels, giant pickles, homemade desserts, breakfast all day, and enough comfort food to feed the whole family — now at all THREE of our locations.

Summer Gatherings Need Real Food

Graduation parties. Pool days. Family BBQs. Office lunches. Weekend road trips. Baseball tournaments. Car shows.

Summer schedules get busy fast.

The best part about deli food? It works for everybody.

Our catering trays and sandwich platters make feeding large groups easy without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re ordering breakfast for a morning event or lunch trays for a graduation party, deli classics always bring people together.

And honestly… nobody’s upset when a giant pastrami sandwich shows up.

The Ultimate Summer Sandwiches

Some foods just feel like summer.

Hot pastrami on rye.
Corned beef piled high.
Turkey clubs stacked taller than your appetite.
Fresh-cut fries.
Cold pickles straight from the pickle bar.

There’s something about sitting down with a fresh sandwich after a long summer day that just hits differently.

Especially when it comes with a black & white cookie.

Breakfast All Day = Summer Survival

Summer schedules are chaotic.
Kids are home.
Travel plans change.
Nobody knows what day it is anymore.

That’s why breakfast all day is one of the greatest inventions of all time.

Fresh bagels, egg sandwiches, pancakes, waffles, omelets, and homemade breakfast favorites are available whenever the craving hits — morning, afternoon, or after sleeping through your alarm.

No judgment here.

Don’t Forget the Pickle Bar

A summer trip to the deli isn’t complete without the pickle bar.

Crunchy.
Cold.
Salty.
Perfect.

Whether you’re a classic kosher dill person or someone who loads up “just a few” pickles that somehow turns into an entire plate… we respect it.

Three Locations. One Giant Appetite.

This summer, Mikey & Mel’s Famous Deli is bigger than ever with THREE locations serving up New York-style deli favorites, homemade comfort food, bakery classics, and crowd-pleasing catering.

Whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, ordering catering, or stopping in for “just one cookie” that some

how becomes six, we’re here all summer long.

Come hungry.
Leave overstuffed.
