Miller's East Coast Deli  

Categories: Delis, Sandwiches, Bagels, Caterers
Neighborhood: Nob Hill

So the origin of me going to this deli starts in the late 1970's when I was a contestant on a kid's game show.
To make a long story short, I screwed up (did not identify a Robin) and ever since then I wanted to go on a game show and redeem myself.
Its 2009 and I am planning on going to New York city. I check the Who Wants to be a millionaire website and see they are having auditions so I change my flight.
A couple of days before my flight my cat (Sasha) is not doing well. Would go into the details but it is not relevant. Just remember, Sasha not feeling well. So I take her to the vet and they give me loads of medication that I need to give twice a day. It would be hard to get someone else to give her the medication and I would be a stress ball so I decided to postpone my trip.
Now besides seeing friends and family and redeeming myself on Millionaire, my main motivation for going to New York was 1) slices of Pizza 2) Deli Sandwiches. So I turned to my Facebook friends for ideas on Sandwiches. They recommended Miller's East Coast Deli.
I order a Ruben with Swiss on rye. On accident they build a second sandwich which they give to me for free. O happy day!
In addition I deliver quite a bit of food to a friend of mine with a jacked up ankle and a cute dog.
I eat the first sandwich outside of the Marcusmobile, in fact I ate the first half and I was full. I ate the second half of the first sandwich later that day.
Now, I normally do not recommend using your car as a storage device but I left the second sandwich in my car overnight. I am sure it is a recipe for food poisoning but it was fairly cool.
Saturday morning I ran eight miles as part of a training group, was rather hungry on the way back and remembered, hey you have a sandwich in the car from yesterday, your bonus sandwich!!
So upon my return I got the day old sandwich from my car and ate it on the couch in the Sports Basement (kudos to sports basement)
It was really good.
(On a side note, Sasha my cat is doing better, will see when I can try out for who wants to be a Millionaire.)

If you look at my Yelp reviews I rarely give one star reviews.
My plane landed at SFO just after midnight and BART no longer ran so I was forced to take a cab.

First off we had to wait for cabs.

I live close to the airport (about five miles away) and when I told the driver where I was going he complained about it being too short of a fare.

I only take a cab when BART is closed (sadly way too much) but they need to have a far better attitude.

Quite possibly the best Deli south of the Hudson!!!
(or at least in Southern Anne Arundel County)

They are masters of the art of the Sandwich!
I got more than I ordered at this fine establishment!

Plus they have free WiFi!!!

Its Tuesday and I am still sore from running the Kaiser half Marathon two days ago but a great experience (even though my iPod froze up)

Anyway trained with Marathon Matt who in addition to being a good running coach is good at Ms Pac Man.

This training group got me out of my comfort zones in two areas, one is running in the rain. Amazingly I am not made of sugar and did not melt. Second is running at night, (along the Marina Green and Fisherman's wharf)

One of the other coaches, Coach Eve is also a bundle of enthusiasm.

Enjoyed the sense of community that Marathon Matt fostered with the group.

Well worth the price.

Got a space monkey (monkey in astronaut outfit) which is the perfect thing that exists.
Gave it to woman I was dating at the time. Regret is a tough pill.

So I started to use my Juicer again and need to buy loads of carrots.
Was on chestnut Street and thought I was going to go to Clement to get a decent price on Carrots.
As it was in the Marina I was expecting that it was going to be well more expensive.
Well I was wrong. Turns out the carrots are less expensive on Chestnut compared to Clement.

Safeways in the city are pretty nice or well cramped.
I am giving this place two extra stars because of a sign that I saw

Not only was it corrected, but clarified and I thought it was funny.

First off the Marathon (Half) and the training (through team in training) was one of the best running things I have been involved with in a long time.
Once we started the way it was organized meant that it was not an obstacle course to get around the walkers. (this was an improvement)
Plus there was plenty of water and gatorade (which I stopped at each one) plus someone gave me chocolate.
There is no doubt who will be getting my Tiffany Necklace.

Now you may be reading this and think, why only four stars? It was a tiny thing that got the day off on the wrong side. We were told to park near AT&T park. We were charged $10 for the shuttle. I asked, how much does it cost to park at AT&T park and I was told, o its free. So I drive up with no cash. Could not find any money in the car. Luckily they had a machine that accepted credit cards. If I would have known that I would have parked elsewhere.

But beyond the parking, a really great experience.

Celia's Mexican Restaurant

This is the last of my reviews that focus more on the trash in the parking lot. I have eaten here a few times and it is OK, way better (and cheaper) Mexican at almost any more authentic place.

Again, they take the trash from the parking lot and move it to the fence along Hickey. It looks horrible. Somehow a TV has been sitting there.
