There is a G-d! Michael Spector's deli is the real deal and the only real deal in Center City. Lunch yesterday - cup of mushroom barley and half a turkey on rye. Breakfast can't be beat. Wait staff take care of you as if you are family. Nova, white fish, kippered salmon about the best you can find. Now dinner! If the craving for corned beef on rye overcomes you after the 4 p.m. show at The Ritz, go to Delicatessen. I also go before a Ritz movie as well. My sister Sandy, the picky eater, loves the place. Making a return visit Friday for lunch. Michael and Zach, here we come.
