Visiting The NYPD, "New York Pickle Deli" In Rocky Hill, Connecticut

I Got "Caught" Eating At The New York Pickle Deli In Rocky Hill, Connecticut

I got caught....eating at The New York Pickle Deli, NYPD in of all places Rocky Hill, Connecticut. It was after a "big heist", that my friend Tina and I were found lunching at this regional favorite restaurant that combines good food, a love of all kinds of collectibles and an obsession with police themes.

After "The Heist" We Worked Up An Appetite

Oh by the way "the heist" wasn't really a robbery, but we did haul off a big load.....a beautiful glass, mirrored, lighted showcase for my antique shop, "Kitsch n Stuff" that I owner smacked down $200.00 in cash for a half hour earlier from a fella in a nearby condo development !

You Will Find Lots of Quirky Collections At The New York Pickle Deli (NYPD)

The knick knacks, memorabilia, collections, collectibles are everywhere (but not for sale). Truthfully it's hard to pay attention to the menu when you first arrive because there is so much to take in. But then you watch the deli sandwiches and burgers go by and you scramble to your table to capture a waitress.
