JMF on your recommendation from that review and a big nod from Westchester magazine (at the time I didn’t know that Westchester magazine reviews were usless) I went over to Royal Scarlet. I worked on Grand Street at the time and it was a short walk. I am going back to around 2006 or 7ish
Frankly I was shocked and thought perhaps there were two and I went to the wrong one…
IMO right up there with the worst of them…the cold cuts were pre cut and separated by little sheets of wax paper.
curled at the ends dried out and tasteless…there seemed to be hundreds of the standard deli sandwich combinations on the board some sounded good … and there were frequently lines…I just didn’t get it…nothing I ever ordred there was good.
I much preferred stopping into any one of the little Mexican spots, Ambadi or La Marquetta up the block for pernil, red beans and rice…at the time $6.oo for a plate that covered lunch and dinner.
They made it into Westchester magazines best sandwiches issue this year…that should tell you all you need to know.
