Westchester Deli Culture Part I of II









Delis in Croton. There has been a lot of management turnover of the Delis in Croton most likely because of high rents, lots of competition, and the long hours involved in shopping and cooking for a successful deli. Photos by Bill Tuttle a CHHS classmate.





My high School, CHHS is located just up the street from the village of Croton on Old Post Road. School administrators had an open campus policy that permitted students to purchase food in the village. The fact that the school cut the hot lunch program that most other area schools had also facilitated the daily parade of students into the village in search good but cheap eats. As the pictures above illustrate, our village had a lot of delis. Most ran lunch specials, largely Italian cuisine such as ziti, eggplant “parm” parmigian cheese or meatball wedge with a drink. One could also order a wedge made with lettuce, tomato mayo or mustard, and freshly delivered Boar’s Head cold cuts. I can still see the wild boar mascot on the side of the black truck with white and gold trim.
