Worried about New York deli attitude? Fuhgeddaboudit. LEO's staff is very young, very sweet and very green. When I told my waiter I enjoyed the chicken-in-the-pot, he raised a clenched fish and joyfully exclaimed, "Right on!" When I ordered a pastrami sandwich to go, the gal behind the takeout counter asked if I wanted mayonnaise on it. Mayonnaise? Hey, do I look like Annie Hall? On the other hand, she also plied me with freebie tastes of just about everything in stock.

Everyone knows you can't go home again. So give LEO credit for giving deli fans a chance to drop in, if only vicariously, on the old neighborhood.
