REIN'S DELI, VERNON CONNECTICUT

REIN'S DELI

VALERIE OSTERHOUDT

435 Hartford Tpk
Vernon, CT 06066
(860) 875-1344

For a while I've been craving a *good* New York Style deli sandwich. However, to travel 2 hours to get this meal seemed a little extravagent.

A friend of mine knowing this took me to Rein's Deli (founded in 1972) in Vernon CT. I was blown away. Walking through the door you instantly felt that you were transported to the Big Apple. There is a life size Statue of Liberty in the middle of the diningroom. The smells and the display cases were if I was standing in SOHO, not Vernon CT.

I ordered a corned beef on rye.. oh my gosh was it great. My friend had the Hebrew National traditional kosher pastrami (is this a mouthful?) No pun intended.

This has got to be the BEST authentic Jewish deli in Connecticut. Oh, and their garlic or sour pickles.. Hhhmmmm. Yummy! You can buy a bucket of pickles to take home with you too... I did. They also have homemade soups to go as well. There is no reason why you can't find a meal here to satisfy your deli cravings.

I would go back to Rein's Deli in a New York minute. So, if you are anywhere Vernon CT, and can't make it to New York, I would highly suggest checking them out. Or if you are in West Springfield Massachusetts they have a restaurant there too.

I'm getting hungry.. think I might go there the day after Thanksgiving for another New York Style deli sandwich... want to meet me there?

MORTENSEN'S PREMIUM ICE CREAM... NEWINGTON CT.... HOME OF THE WHEELBARROW SUNDAE

valerie osterhoudt

3148 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, CT

860.666.8219

This past week was my younger son, Jakob's birthday. Yesterday we celebrated (again) with 2 games of Lazer Tag, and then ice cream for him and his friends at Mortensen's Ice Cream in Newington, CT.

They have over a dozen *homemade* ice creams and at least 15 different toppings to choose from. All of them had a blast with all the choices. They a 12 scoop sundae, 24 scoop sundae.. and the ultimate

200 SCOOP WHEELBARROW SUNDAE

valerie osterhoudt

I think this has got to be one of the LARGEST sundaes ever. So, if you have a birthday party, little league, sweet 16th celebration.. anything where there are a lot of people you can have one MAMOUTH SUNDAE... oh, did I mention.... you get to keep the wheelbarrow?

HISTORY OF MORTENSEN'S

Mortensen's was founded in 1915 with Elmer Mortensen delivering milk door to door by horse and wagon.

After having farms in Simbury, CT and Bloomfield, CT, he and his wife Joan moved to their farm in Newington, CT. Along with their seven children, they soon made Mortensen's A familiar landmark on the Berlin Turnpike. The whole *FAMILY* of cows were hard to miss grazing on the roof of their dairy Bar.

In 1976 they opened their present location, and began to make their own homade ice cream on the premisies.

Just as Elmer persisted in processing the best milk possible they are dedicated to serving the finest food and all natural ice cream anywhere!

Below are some more pictures I took.
