This review is for Jay's Deli on North Charles street right by Penn Station.
Now when I think of good Deli, I think of NYC. Practically no other city has been able to come close. Maybe Maimi because of all the New York retirees. Anyways, Jay's definately tries and generally does a good job. They had the required chopped liver, but no tongue. The deviled eggs looked fresh and the hot bar looked really tastey. I like the fact that they have a nice selection of beer and wine, and that everything looked fresh. The people were nice and the place looked really clean.

I'm actually trying to write a review for Jay's Cafe at the top of the Bloomberg School of Public Health building at Johns Hopkins. What used to be just the 9th floor cafeteria at the 'Hygiene' building, as it were, is now a bastion of food choices ranging from sushi to burgers and vanilla dirt.

Now that I'm a full-fledged student, and practically living in this illustrious building, I have to pay homage to those that feed me there. Jay's is one such place. The food isn't really what I'm here to write about though. It's decent cafeteria food; what do you really expect? It's the view. Notice I mentioned the ninth floor. I didn't mention the wrap-around windows that spoil diners with a view of south Baltimore all the way to the Inner Harbor and beyond. It is truly gorgeous, even on a cloudy day. Today, however, it was quite clear, and the red bricks looked so inviting down below on all the quaint inner city rowhouses nearby. Church steeples, the harborfront, the downtown city skyline...all of it just waiting for you while you munch on your lunch. You don't even have to buy lunch there; you can bring it and eat at the tables with friends, colleagues, whoever. If you do buy lunch, let me know how the salad sampler is. Those balls of egg, tuna, and potato salad look intriguing to this starvin' student!

Better yet, you will overhear some amazing conversations about topics like infectious diseases and the latest and greatest public health research. :) For all the nerds out there...
