Today, I had the pleasure of dining at Hank and Harry\u2019s newest location. Right on the corner of U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway) and SW 73rd<\/sup> Street, Hank and Harry\u2019s offers a wide array of New York-inspired Italian and Jewish Cuisine.<\/p>\n Upon arrival, I was greeted by Buzzy Sklar, co-owner of the up-and-coming delicatessen. He handed me a menu, gave me some information about the grand opening, which took place just yesterday, April 3, and shared what the deli\u2019s goals were for the next month.<\/p>\n The deli slash restaurant had a very modern look to it with vintage oak wood finishing along the walls. The black and white checkered floor with the cage light-bulb holders gave the place a modern setting. The 3,000 square foot space contains a generous sized sit down area with booth seating available.<\/p>\n I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sklar to talk about the deli\u2019s future plans. He said he hopes to launch a new app in the next two weeks so that customers can place pickup or delivery orders. He also says that franchising and expansion will occur sometime this year.<\/p>\n When I first heard about this place, I felt such a rush of joy. My mouth watered as soon as I found out that there would finally be a New York deli opening up by me. Coming from New York, bagels and deli food is a huge staple in my diet, and not being able to have that down here has been tough, but Hank and Harry\u2019s has fixed that. When I first took a bite into the bacon, egg and cheese on a poppy seed bagel, I immediately felt like I was home.<\/p>\n Their menu, which is nothing shy of huge, temped me to get a few dishes to sample, and then take the rest home. I tried their bagels, pastrami, Italian cold cut sandwich, and matzo ball soup. All of them didn\u2019t disappoint. I will definitely be back in the future, and look forward to bringing myself home without traveling more than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By DREW COHEN Today, I had the pleasure of dining at Hank and Harry\u2019s newest location.
