If you think quantity is more important than quality or are a member of the "clean plate club" with the girth to prove your affiliation, then Maxie's Delicatessen is the perfect place for you to scarf up in New York City. We discovered it on our way back to our hotel from the theater. It was raining, so we skipped the menu in the window and walked in, since we saw a few tables available. We were hoping to find a deli and this one was in the right place at the right time, but perhaps we were not.
It seemed at the time that the price for the cheese blintzes was a bit high, but since we were so close to Time's Square, we were willing to "pay the price" for being in such a tourist driven location. The three cheese blintzes were the size of a modest Midwestern town and the fruit garnish could have easily fed a family of four. I call it a garnish because I don't recall even seeing it mentioned on the menu. The food was fresh and not the best, but certainly not the worst that I've consumed in my lifetime. If you're a quantity eater that embraces your style, then Maxie's will certainly be a good choice. The rest of us may be better served elsewhere.
