The Urban Deli Original Montreal Style Smoked Meat. (Photo - Urban Deli)

Up until the first week or so of July 2009, Urban Deli only existed in the head of our owner Liz. Then, on July 13, 2009, it was real.

Yes, today is our birthday! It’s Urban Deli’s second anniversary!

We’ve had another wonderful year with the restaurant and our catering. It’s been a year filled with intriguing people and superb events.

We absolutely love being a part of Uptown Saint John. As with last year, we have oodles of people to thank: our fabulous staff, the tremendous vendors and suppliers we get to work with and, of course, the people of Saint John. Our customers are fabulous.

As small thank you, today we have free samples of our desserts with your meal. So we hope you drop by and give us a chance to say, “Thanks!”

And just in case your interested, below is a list of what visitors to the Deli appear to liked best from our menu in our last year.

That’s wonderful … The world could use a nice taste of New Brunswick. Let it flow!

Being quiet here on the site, we also neglected to thank Picaroon’s for the profile of the Urban Deli they’ve put on their site. Many thanks!

Finally, for whatever it’s worth, we took a look at our menu and based on the first month or so our being open, we found that while just about everything was popular, the top five were:

• Montreal Smoked Meat
• Veggie Burger
• Spinach Salad
• Reuben Sandwich
• Mac ‘N’ Cheese

And that’s about it for now. Bon appétit!
