Long Island has the best

The things we missed the most when we moved to Virginia was the deli's and bakeries!!!
Liz DeCarlo

Indubitably! Got boar's head here; found good pizza; but as for bakeries and bagels, no such luck. Brueggers and Manhattan Bagel come close but not near enough to me. Southerners think Lenders Bagels and Papa Johns are the bomb. Yuck!

No slice anywhere has the taste of a DANTE of Hicksville PIZZA
Karyn Endres MacDonald Class of 1973

You are so right Karyn. My family ordered pizza from them EVERY friday night!!! Also hooked on the potato salad from the German deli right before getting on the Northern State and LIE.

George & Julius' deli in the Allied shopping center. My brother was hooked on their potato salad!
Marianne Carine Hoerner 1968

Hank & Madeline's deli (next to Grand union) was the best.
Tony Russo

And we can't forget Long Island had the best Diners!
Christine Shea LoMonaco 1981

Yep, miss them all

This is so true I now live in SC and let me tell you the Pizza and bagels can never compare.

You are so right! Every time someone asks me what I miss about NY it's always the FOOD!!

I now live in New Jersey and still think diners on Long Island are better!
Chris DiBiase

Yes!
Cathy Macbride

Can't argue that from here in Baltimore.

Don't forget Zorn's !!!!!!

Dante's...... Nuff said.

Dante's was heaven!

My cousin once drove from Flint, Michigan to Hicksville just to have a Dante's Veal Parm Hero...was the best sandwich I've ever had.
Steven Coleman

Agreed...I love the response I am getting from this post!

Well you had the bagels, we have to work on the rest. LOL

Seeing lots of mentions of Dante's. I left in 66 and don't recall that pizza store. I do remember N&J on Broadway. Had to climb steps to get there. Thinks they had a bus that would cook pizzas on site for special events. Cut-Rite bakery had the best hard rolls, crumb cakes. And Scheiner's drug store made great egg creams at the fountain. I treasure my growing up in Hicksville and the memories that are part of who I have become.

Barb, I think you need a visit to NY

My family loved Dante's. We used to take home tins of baked ziti. Yum!!
Cathy Macbride

I forgot to mention Chinese food. I am now in Arizona and the food here sucks!!! They have no idea what good food is. I miss a good mom and pop bagel and deli. No good bakeries. We have supermarket bakeries but nothing compares. I want to eat the screen looking at all this great food.
