Michael Schwartz's On-Demand New York-Style Deli

The James Beard Award-winning chef and Miami restaurateur Michael Schwartz has launched another concept: Schwartz's Genuine Miami Deli. Open for delivery only, because it's not a brick-and-mortar shop yet, Schwartz's Genuine Miami Deli will take orders daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Uber Eats, and other delivery partners, such as DoorDash and Postmates, will soon follow. The menu offers New York deli classics. The made-to-order overstuffed sandwiches — including hot pastrami that's brined and smoked in-house ($16), fresh-roasted turkey with lettuce and tomato ($14), and a pastrami-turkey combo ($15) — come on Jewish rye and with a half sour pickle. You can "make it special" by adding Russian dressing and coleslaw for an additional $3. There's also fresh chicken, tuna, or egg salad available on rye ($11 to $14) or as a three-scoop platter ($16). Homemade bagels round out the menu. A plain or everything bagel sells for $2; add cream cheese for $1 more. "The works" — a bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and all the fixings — costs $17. 786-749-1211; schwartzsgenuinedeli.com.
