R.I.P Deli Haus
This totally sucks - here's a letter from my friend Geeta regarding Deli Haus:

----
Yo,

I don't know if you all know this already, or if you even care, but it appears that our beloved Boston eating establishment,
Deli Haus, has changed. I walked over there yesterday to
survey the damage after the renovation, and to talk to the people who work there.

It's not as terrible as some of the rumors that had been spreading around Senior Haus had implied, but it's still pretty bad.

Key points here:

-There are no longer any booths at Deli Haus. They were all thrown out last week.

-Deli Haus no longer serves breakfast food at night--it is now primarily a bar.

-The menus are different now--they have been cut drastically to only include sandwiches and beer.

-Some prices appear to have increased.

-The glass display case in the entryway has been trashed and replaced with a new stainless steel counter.

-The interior has been repainted and all of the furniture
has been replaced.

-Deli Haus will now close at 2:30 am instead of 3, but again, you won't be able to get food late at night there, only alcohol.

-Most of the waitresses are staying, saying that they like the changes-- the tips are better, the people who go there now are nicer to them, and the place isn't as full.

But you can smoke at Deli Haus again, since it is now a bar under Boston regulations. Their selection of beers on tap has improved, but that is to be expected, since their focus is no longer on selling late night food to a loyal following of punkass
kids, but on increasing their profit margin by serving overpriced beer.

In summary, the place now sucks. I don't think I'm going back there anytime soon. Me, I'm making some french vanilla toast---after all, Deli Haus doesn't make it anymore. Then, I'll start my own goddamn diner. In Towers.

Geeta

This pisses me off so much!

couple points:

-actually...they do still serve french vanilla toast. or at least it was on their new "weekend brunch menu" (...i don't know about their regular weekday menu). i almost ordered it when i was there yesterday, actually.

-the prices have most definitely increased. however...the "quality" of the food has not.

-also...they now close at 2:00, not 2:30.

my two cents,

That really sucks! I used to go every once in a while since I live a half an hour away. It was such a treat for us. I would also bring all my out of town friends there. I'd feel really bad if they went under. The waitresses there are really hard workers and I hope that that they're getting the good end of the deal! Well I think I'll check it out myself one of these days....
