Florida Cold Cuts

Deli$

This venerable deli near Marven Gardens seems to have a monopoly on well-made Italian sandwiches (notably roast pork with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone) on the Jersey Shore, plus grilled items, like a respectable Reuben. There’s also one of the finest selections of natural wines and spirits on Absecon Island.
