I have been to delicatessens and specialty food shops the world over. Carshon's is the worst delicatessen and one of the worst restaurants overall, at which I have been a patron. The restaurant is run-down and seedy looking, and so is the surrounding neighborhood. I can see why they close at 3PM; you would not want to be in this neighborhood after dark. It does not look or smell like a deli......if you have been to Katz' in NYC, you know what I mean. My friend and I ordered a corned beef on rye and a pastrami on rye, respectively. The rye bread was ersatz/immitation like white bread with a few seeds in it. The meat on both sandwiches looked like it had been laying around for a while...not fresh and juicy like it should be.
Pros: Plenty of parking because nobody was there
Cons: The food and the service
