to the Garden Deli. Established in 1987 by Edward Yuziuk, and operated by his son Greg and his wife Hiroko, Garden Deli serves up the famous mouth-watering cuisine of the New York City delicatessens that Ed grew up with, while creating a lush, mountain garden atmosphere both inside and out.

Inside dining offers a cheerful atmosphere, with abundant natural light provided by bay windows, a fireplace for chilly days, real greenery and natural wood walls. Hiroko's handmade Japanese lanterns and oil paintings of local landscapes by artist Roy Nichols add an elegant touch to your dining experience.

  After lunch, take a short walk down Main Street and explore unique local craft and specialty shops. And just across the Town Square is the historic 100+ year old Nu Wray Inn.
