Desserts in Indianapolis

I know it is supposed to be about the pumpkin pie but LOOK AT THESE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKES!  Shapiro's Bakery is in high gear getting ready for the holiday.  Please call us to order your sweets!  We will be CLOSED on Thanksgiving day so stop by Wednesday to pick up your treats or come see us later in the week.  Happy Thanksgiving!

As a new member of Weight Watchers, I just want to tell everyone that you CAN enjoy good food even when you are watching your weight.  If you are looking for a place to nosh in Indianapolis, stop by Shapiro's Deli.  There are plenty of options for those who are following the new Points Plus Weight Watcher program.  We have lots of fresh fruit - which are now ZERO points!  I have often enjoyed a 6 ounce chopped steak dinner with green beans, onions, and a side of fruit.  This is a 10 point meal, which leaves plenty of room for the rest of your day if you are on the 29 minimum daily points.  Our sandwiches are approximately 6 1/2 ounces of meat.  Look up the points value in your Pocket Guide for the meat you choose.  Feel free to order a sandwich with no bread if that works for you.  Another favorite of mine is the made-from-scratch vegetable soup.  One bowl is approximately 6 points.  With two packets of Saltine crackers you only spend 8 points total on this filling and healthy meal.  There are plenty of salads to choose from with fat-free dressing options.  It costs me a few extra points, but I frequently have the Caesar salad with chicken for lunch.  There is about 4 ounces of chicken, about 1/4 cup of swiss cheese, and a small amount of croutons.  These all have point values in your Pocket Guide.  If you are having breakfast we offer Egg Beaters or Egg Whites, which are a healthy alternative to whole eggs.  It is a challenge to work at one of the best delis in Indianapolis, but thanks to the kosher style food choices I just have to make wise choices.  I will leave the dessert choice up to you!  You'll have to figure out whether or not you can fit this into your program.  Good luck to everyone!  

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.

Shapiro's Deli will be open regular hours on Fourth of July.

Festivities in downtown Indianapolis include the Indianapolis Indians playing July 1-5, free admission to many venues including the Eiteljorg Museum, and the Freedom Blast fireworks display set off from the Regions Bank Tower at 9:45 p.m.  We will be open all day to offer you great food while you enjoy your day.  We also have great air conditioning, great parking, great desserts, cookies for the kids, and plenty of room for everybody!  We hope to see you at the downtown deli.

Festivities in Carmel, Indiana include the many activities offered by the Carmelfest festival.  They have changed things a bit this year.  The parade and fireworks display will be on July 5th.  The parade marches directly past our Carmel, Indiana deli.  Please stop by and have lunch with us after the parade.  Don't forget we now have the grill open out on the patio for the remainder of the summer.  Visit the Carmelfest website at www.carmelfest.net to get more details.  

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.
