Shapiro's Deli is highlighted in The Indiana Jewish Post & Opinion, October 13, 2010 edition.  The following is the article in its' entirety:

Shapiro's Deli Catering Division has initiated a new concept at the Park Regency Senior Living Facility in Indianapolis.  Jay Slavin, Catering Manager at Shapiro's Deli, reached out to the facility administrators, who were excited to add Shapiro's Night to their monthly social calendar.

On the first Tuesday of every month, residents choose some of their favorite items from the Shapiro's Deli menu.  They can invite family members or friends to join them for a great meal from the well-known deli.  Shapiro's brings in their popular sandwiches, hot comforting entrees, and mouth-watering desserts for a dinner that brings back fond memories.  Many residents have spent their lives in Indianapolis, where Shapiro's is a kosher-style dining landmark.

This concept is really catching on and growing in popularity.  Every month the participation is growing and Shapiro's plans to add other independent living facilities to the calendar as well.  Shapiro's Catering Division is focused on bringing their unique dining experience to the community.  Visit their website at www.shapiros.com.

 This photo below is a page from the March 2010 Indianapolis Monthly magazine, which I just noticed this afternoon.  Lo and behold, there is our serving line from the downtown Shapiro's Deli location for all to see!  Out in the dining room are photos of the original founders, Louis and Rebecca Shapiro (top center), Max Shapiro (left) who was one of their sons, and Morton Shapiro (bottom center), who is the (deceased) father of current owner, Brian Shapiro.

My favorite fourth of July was a few years ago when Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer stopped by the downtown deli unannounced.  (My children would say John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston..names in reverse order.)  I was star struck to say the least.  They were very nice and even let me get my picture taken with them.  

Please put us in your plans for the day.  It should be a fun time in Indianapolis and Carmel. 

We just received an e-mail from a recent customer from Germany.  "I´ve been to Indianapolis for 2 weeks and came back home to Germany yesterday... During that time I went to your locations downtown Indy and Carmel...I tested your cheesecake in different variations and I gotta say that this is the best cheesecake in the world!!! Keep on your excellent work on that! When I come over again - I´ll be going to SHAPIRO´S !!! Thank you! ;-) "

Wow!  Thanks for writing to us.  For the folks who don't know, we have Ann's Strawberry cheesecake, peanut butter, chocolate, plain, chocolate chip, oreo, blueberry, cherry, and a combination of plain/chocolate.  We also have a carrot cake/cheesecake combo and a devils food/cheesecake combo.  We use only the finest ingredients and bake them fresh every day.  They are available by the slice, half cakes or whole cakes.  The favorite at my house is the devils food/cheesecake combo.
