It appears that
New York, NY Deli on Shackleford Road has gone out of business. The latest entry in the sandwich market featured large sub sandwiches and a variety of specialty salads. A sign on the door thanks customers for their patronage. The phone number listed for the restaurant has been disconnected, as has the phone for the Conway location. A quick call to the franchise folks produced no answers.

Joel DiPippa has some fun links for the foodies and drinkies among us.
First, the Omnivore 100, British blogger Andrew Wheeler's subjective list of 100 things every omnivore should try at least once. I'm not biting that I must try everything somebody somewhere eats routinely. Wheeler himself cuts you some slack. He suggests putting the list on your own blog or journal and bold-facing those you've tried and crossing out those you would never try. Post comments where appropriate. After the jump, Joel's annotated list: He says he's up to 62 of them.

The Arkansas Foodbank Network helps feed thousands of hungry Arkansas families each and every day. And right now, you can help them out in two separate ways - that won't cost you a dime.
First off, there's the Chicken of the Sea Jingle Jam. Folks all over the country are voting on who's doing a great job with the company's jingle. Brent Walker's twin sisters have an entry in the contest - and if they win, the prize is a trip to Universal Studios in Hollywood. But the bigger winner is the Foodbank, which would receive a whole truckload of food. Check out the local entry here.
Then there's the Spread the Sharing promotion through Country Crock. You go online here, share a story about a giving or sharing experience you've enjoyed, and a donation is made to America's Second Harvest. Arkansas Foodbank Network is part of that big enterprise, by the way.
Just two ways to help quell the hunger of Arkansans with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
