In fact, it may be “right around the corner” no matter where you live or work in the desert. Sherman’s Deli and Bakery now has two locations open in the Coachella Valley: On Tahquitz Canyon in Palm Springs; and the newest, at Country Club and Monterey in Palm Desert. You’ll find all the same unbeatable foods as those legendary Manhattan delis with menu favorites like a New York-Style Hot Pastrami Sandwich with sliced turkey and Swiss cheese, Lox and Cream Cheese on a Bagel, or Matzo Ball Soup. Patrons obviously consider Sherman’s a permanent part of the desert restaurant scene, but owners Sherman Harris, his son, Sam, and daughter, Janet, never take their customers for granted. Their menu is an absolute delight with notes and amusing asides throughout. There are sumptuous deli platters (to go or to stay), which, the menu says, “Give our chef a chance to show off,” and, “Everything is served with pride,” and, under Beef ’n’ Latkas, you’ll note that a corned beef sandwich can be made with two of their famous potato pancakes instead of bread. From 4 to 6 p.m. (7 p.m. in summer), special New York Steak, BBQ Baby Back Ribs, Baked Chicken, Calves Liver & Onions, all with soup or salad and potato, the choices are endless starting from just $11.95. By the way, all the bakery items are baked right on the premises by our famous pastry chef Jesus Ornelas. California wines are available, as well as domestic and imported beers. Casual attire is the order of the day. Bring a hearty appetite and settle in for what promises to be a memorable gastronomical experience. When it’s all over you might leave Sherman’s singing, “I’ll take Manhattan (in Palm Springs or Palm Desert), the Bronx, and Staten Island too!” Custom full-service catering available. Open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Breakfast served all day. |
