New York Bagels and Deli
I must admit, seeing what could be described as something that belongs in a strip mall somewhere anywhere other than New York City in a tiny island country is weird and comforting. New York Bagels and Deli is slightly off the many highway in the Grand Anse area and has what a generic american deli would have: burgers, sandwiches, several breakfast options and delivery. It's relatively new, with the "Now Open" still laying in the grass after falling a few months ago. The decor is similar to most of Grenada: bright lights, tiles and garden furniture inside. The burger and fries come in at about $5, with the burger being serviceable version of a whopper without ketchup and the fries forgettable (somehow, the best american food I've had was visiting KFC drunk). A burger that I would never even think of order turns out to be the best burger I've had on the island to date; it was grilled instead of microwaved and was somewhat large. My biggest complaint is the music selection--typically someone displaying "New York" in its name (though they are usually pizzerias) has music from the area like Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen et. al. or generic pop/top 40. Instead, the local radio station, which seems to be the only station in Grenada, is playing (As an aside, they have been playing Christmas music since mid-October). New York Bagels and Deli does provides enough comforts of America to warrant return trips, with the American menu, Manhattan posters and familiar decor, but adding the music would be the easiest improvement to this restaurant.
