Another wonderful Friday

You know what’s great about a Friday? It’s Friday! We’re moving into the weekend!

We’ve a couple of off the cuff reminders … Lunch is on and its tasty, but we’re also open until 9:00pm today so if you’re going to the Millrats game, why not start it off at the Deli for dinner? We have a melt in your mouth Reuben Sandwich with corned beef, swiss cheese, & sauerkraut, bacon & onion topping on marble rye bread.

And staying with the mouth watering theme … our ham & Swiss cheese is piled high on our sour dough bread … all worth the walk!

We’re also open tomorrow for our usual Saturday breakfast, 9:00am to noon. It makes for a very nice way of getting your Saturday started.

And finally, don’t forget to cast your vote for The Saltys, Saint John’s first social media awards. They’re a way to celebrate our city’s social media community. There are four categories, and Urban Deli is nominated in one of them, Best Use of Social Media in a Campaign.

Voting closes at noon Wednesday, February 16. Winners will be announced at a very fun night planned for the 17th at the Saint John Ale House. So vote soon!

And have a fabulous weekend! We hope to see you!

Groggy and hungry? We’ll take care of you!

So here it is … New Year’s Day. How was your night? We hope you brought in 2011 with friends and fun.

And if you overindulged, as in if you’re hungover, drop by the Deli day.

We’re open for breakfast from 9:00am till 3:00pm today, so bring your hangover in and have a relaxing Urban Deli breakfast. Have a look at the breakfast menu. We think you’ll find something that appeals and puts a smile on your face.

You may want to consider starting with a mimosa — hair of the dog so to speak.

Start your morning with a Mimosa (champagne & fresh squeezed orange juice) or make it a Royale by adding Grand Marnier.

A mimosa is champagne and freshly squeezed orange juice. You may even want to make it a Royale by adding Grand Marnier. Mmm!

There’s no rush to get out of bed and make it in for breakfast because we’re open till the early afternoon — 3:00pm. So get up when you’re ready and drop in when the spirit moves you (but before 3pm). Today is for relaxing and taking it easy.

But please pop on in so we can wish you a Happy New Year and start your 2011 with one of our delightful Deli breakfasts.

And don’t forget, we’ve got you covered for coffee too thanks to our friends at Red Whale!

Have a wonderful day and a thrilling New Year!

Breakfast for the morning after

Deep Deli Skillet: Deli potatoes, smoked meat bits, white cheddar, two eggs topped with hollandaise sauce & served with a side of toast.

We mentioned yesterday our plans for a New Year’s Eve dinner at Urban Deli. But what about the day after — New Year’s Day — when the parties are over and 2011 is well underway?

We have it covered! Enjoy your hangover at the Deli!

On New Year’s Day, we’ll be serving breakfast, and only breakfast, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm so when you roll out of bed to face the new year, and your taste buds start kicking up a fuss, we’ll be here for you. Drop by between 9 and 3 and enjoy a Deli breakfast with us.

It will be a Deli-icious way to start 2011.

And don’t forget, on New Year’s Eve we have a special chef and a special menu and a special 7:00pm seating. Please call Liz at the Deli to reserve — 652-3354 and she’ll take care of you.

Our holiday hours and have a Deli-icious Christmas!

Urban Deli Christmas 2010: Rob, Michael-Ann, Liane, Janna, Fran, Craig, Dale, Gord, Elizabeth, Alan, Vaughan, and Jordan. Missing in the photo: Greg, Phil, Dave, Jenny and Candy.

Wow! It’s here! Like you, we’ve been so busy we barely noticed it coming up on us. But it’s Christmas Eve day now and we know what tomorrow is, so we wanted to pause a moment and say a big thank you to everyone: our wonderful staff, suppliers, all the other Uptown businesses and, with a really big emphasis, our marvelous customers.

Not only have our customers kept us busy, a lot of them have given us great ideas for new things to introduce and on occasion have helped us “taste test” new items to see if they were up to their standards and ours.

It’s amazing how much they’ve helped us this year. So …

Thank you! And we hope everyone, everywhere has a Christmas to remember and a New Year that flies by because it’s so full of new people and things. And may we all be prosperous! Happy holidays!

Speaking of which, these are our hours over the holidays:

Holiday Hours:

  • Dec. 27 to 30: Regular Hours
  • Dec 31 (New Year’s Eve): Special New Year’s Eve dinner seating at 7:00pm — please call ahead (ask for Liz) and reserve.
  • Jan. 1 (New Year’s Day): Enjoy your hangover at the Deli! Breakfast only 9:00am to 3:00pm.

And we’re back to regular hours on January 2, 2011.

A busy weekend for us and we love it

Our weekend is pretty full with good “stuff.” It starts with tomorrow night as we host local photograph Beaver Smith and his photos.

We had a pretty interesting back and forth (an interview) with Beaver earlier in the week about photography and Saint John.

Then on Sunday afternoon, we’ve got Bob McVicar (Chef Bob) coming in to present a cooking class with the subject being Creole jambalaya. When we spoke to Bob the other day, he was sounding pretty pumped about it — as are we!

In both cases, tickets are limited but you can get yours simply by calling us here at the Urban Deli at 652.3354 or, put another way, 652.DELI.

Of course, you can also join us tomorrow morning for our regular Urban Deli breakfast (9:00 am to noon).

That should cover all the bases … Oh yes, one last thing. For those who have signed up to our newsletter, we are giving away tickets from the Saint John Theatre Company to their November 25th show: The Importance of Being Earnest. If you haven’t signed up yet, you still can subscribe and have a chance at winning. Just visit our newsletter page and subscribe.

Now it’s back to work and getting ready for the weekend …
