To the Victor Goes the Eviction

Columbus Park's only deli, Victor's has closed.  When I worked on Bank St I was a regular.  Then, the deli was operated by Bobby V's and was called Victory Deli.  Around a year ago, Bobby sold,  and Victory became Victor's.  Along with (y), out went the 1970's-80's Sports Illustrated covers lining the walls.  Some of the renovations seemed misguided and actually made the joint worse.  Apparently mixing salads and slapping ranch on a chicken cutlet required more elbow room and behind the counter was expanded.  This pushed waiting customers against the tables lining the walls.  Nothing like the ass of an under exercised, over caffeinated office drone in your face as you sit and eat.  

If you work in the area and need a replacement, check out Jenna Marie's on Summer just before the intersection of Spring.  Their "Saddam Insane" sandwich cancels out any of the Butcher of Baghdad's human rights transgressions in my mind.
