New York Delis in Dallas: Fake or Fabulous?

As a New York transplant living in Dallas I was thrilled to know the existence of New York Style delis in Dallas. I approached with skepticism. After all, New York is New York and Dallas is...well...Dallas. We're talking apples and oranges here. Right? Much to my surprise four Dallas deli/restaurants come quite close to the real thing. Cindi's Deli, Deli News and Bagelsteins offer delicious, fresh bakery items like bagels, Danish, cakes, cookies and more, plus hamburgers, deli sandwiches, salads, omelets, and waffles at any time of the day. Search no more for your favorite Jewish favorites like Kosher hot dogs, blintzes, latkes, matzo ball soup, smoked salmon, chopped chicken liver, kreplach and beef tongue to name a few. Café Fino offers Italian deli favorites like pizza by the slice, calzones and pasta items. As for décor you'll find New York images abound to add flair. What's missing? The New York Times is no where to be had, the waitstaff lacks bad attitudes and puny portions do not reflect the New York-style best known for its mile high sandwiches. But, for homesick Yankees in need of a hometown taste-fix these 4 delis come as close to the real thing as you can get this far south of the Mason Dixon line. Dine in, take out or catering available.
