It’s the final day of shooting in Saint John for John Catucci and You Gotta Eat Here! They’re here at Urban Deli today and we’ll be featuring our Uptown Big Beef Bad Boy and the Muffuletta.
We’d love to see you for today’s Food Network taping of the front of the house customer feed back session … We have space available for Noon and 1:30 pm. But please call to reserve at 652-3354.
It should be a fun day!
Okay, so the weather is kind of wish washy this weekend and the U2 concert in Moncton may be a tad damp. But it’s a weekend for New Brunswick and rain or shine we’ll be enjoying it.
And we’ll be open, as we were today (Saturday). And will be on Sunday for a weekend breakfast. And on holiday Monday, New Brunswick Day, with our weekend breakfast menu. We’ll be on our shortened hours Monday, 10:00am to 3:00pm, so we can enjoy the day too. 🙂
Speaking of our weekend breakfast menu, we received some very nice words from Where in their post Breakfast, lunch, dinner: Saint John, New Brunswick. We were joined in the post by Billy’s Seafood and the Saint John Ale House. Where is a site devoted to finding the best in dining, entertainment, travel etc. across the country. We’re beaming to be included!
We’re hoping everyone has a great weekend! (The forecast is for a much sunnier day on Sunday. Here’s hoping!)
Have fun and be safe.

We’ve opened for Canada Day and will be open till 4:00 this afternoon. So when you’re in the Uptown, pay us a visit and say, “Happy Canada Day!”
Come take a stroll down King Street and support all the vendors along both sides of street!
Inside at Urban Deli, we have our regular menu plus a breakfast sandwich feature. And outside? …
We’re also set up outside today on King Street and we have grilled English Muffin breakfast sandwich plus health bars, ice tea & lemonade…all made in-house.
As for lunch … We’re featuring deliciously fresh Lobster Rolls — selling them inside the Deli and outside on King. And outside only: pulled pork English Muffin!
It promises to be a great day in the Uptown and everyone on King Street would love to see you and celebrate the country we love. Have a safe and fun Canada Day!
Today is Father’s Day and it’s a bit of a puzzler for many people. As is Mother’s Day when it comes around and Family Day when it arrives.
It’s easy to understand what Father’s Day is – it’s the day we thank and honour fathers. What makes many wonder is how it relates to them because in our contemporary world, families aren’t always constituted the way they were in the past.
Some of us have two dads, some none at all. Some have a family, some have several and some have no family. So how does this Father’s Day business work?
The nice thing about today is we have options; we can define something like Father’s Day anyway we want. It’s really just a day to acknowledge and honour someone who is important to us. And that can be a Dad, someone else in the family, a relative or friend.
Who stands by you and helps out when your life goes in the crapper? That’s who this day is for. Despite the name, it is gender neutral. You live in single parent home? Then maybe your single parent is both mom and dad. The day is for them.
Do you have a mentor? This is their day.
Mainly, it is about spending time together and enjoying the company of people we care about. So do it!
And if you want a comfy place to get together, we’re open at Urban Deli today for breakfast/brunch from 10:00am to 3:00pm. We’d love to see you and meet the important people in your life.
So come on in and make the introductions. 🙂
Saint John has its first ever social media awards, The Saltys – a celebration of the Saint John Social Media Community. It’s set for February 17 just down the road from us at the Saint John Ale House. And guess what? Urban Deli is a nominee! We’re over the moon!
We’re nominated in the category “Best Use of Social Media in a Campaign” for customer engagement. Actually, it’s really our customers who should be getting the tip of the hat. You guys have been fabulous on our blog, Facebook page and on Twitter. And you’ve kept us on our toes!
We’re not always as on top of things as we would like. Being a small operation, our main focus is the kitchen and the restaurant, so we can’t always be engaging people online to the extent we would like to. So for the record, we would like to say a big “Thank you!” to everyone for the RTs and wonderful comments we’ve seen in our feeds.
Huge congratulations as well to all the nominees in all the categories. Looking at the list is a bit like looking at a list of friends. We’re pretty sure we know everyone there.
Urban Deli has been using social media for some time now. We started on Twitter in March of 2009 – that’s almost two years ago – and started our Facebook page not long after. It was lot of figuring out how to use this social media thing (we bumbled a lot with the Facebook part initially) but it became very clear, very soon that social media was about one thing: people.
So it really is a lot like being in the restaurant where we get to interact with our customers face to face. With social media, we do the same thing, just not face to face.
Once again, we’re very excited that Saint John now has its own social media awards — The Saltys — and even more excited to see we’ve been nominated.
By the way, the online voting is now on. Cast your vote while you can and we hope to see all of you February 17 for the big party!
Thank you again Saint John!
It may be snowy and windy and still frosty with the January chill, and maybe your school has closed today or even work, but if that’s the case you could drop into Urban Deli. We’re open, and we’re warm!
The food is warm too. It’s from our kitchen where the heat is always on. For instance, you might want to indulge in:
You may even want to close your eyes and imagine you’re somewhere south as you enjoy our Pulled Pork Sandwich or Muffuletta Sandwich.
You might even want to go with something simple and traditional on a snowy, cold day: soup. Our soup is always homemade, fresh and hot.
