New: Shlomo and Vito's New York Delicatessen
For everyone who has been craving a deli: It has arrived in the foothills, at Plaza Colonial, across the street from La Encantada. I dropped by a few days after they opened and peeked inside to look at the menu--and there was already a wait during lunch. The menu is a mile long and boasts all kinds of things ex-New Yorkers only dream about, at 2870 E. Skyline Drive; 577-4584.
