This coming weekend is the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Indianapolis.  The race starts Saturday morning, April 16th at IUPUI.  Believe it or not, this is the 20th anniversary of the race in central Indiana!  One of our employees, Norma, is a breast cancer survivor and will be walking in support of the cause on Saturday.  Shapiro's is open at 6:30 a.m. for breakfast.  We have eggs any way you like them, french toast, corned beef hash, oatmeal and fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy, beef and turkey bacon, and breakfast potatoes.  Stop by before or after the race.  It should be a great event day in Indianapolis!  

 

INDIANA BASKETBALL WEEKEND

Friday, April 1, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
It is Women's NCAA Final Four weekend in Indianapolis!  Playing in their home state will be the NOTRE DAME IRISH taking on the Connecticut Huskies.  Games will be played at Conseco Fieldhouse, which is just minutes from Shapiro's Deli Downtown.  There are MANY, MANY other activities going on throughout the weekend before the championship game on Tuesday evening.  

The  BUTLER BULLDOGS will be playing in Houston on Saturday and I'm sure there will be a hush in the city of Indianapolis as everyone watches this game.  My daughter happens to attend Butler and will be working at Shapiro's on Saturday - keeping one eye on the game.  We will definitely have the restaurant television tuned in to the Butler game!  

Whether you are in Indy enjoying the Women's Final Four or relaxing at home to watch the Bulldogs, put Shapiro's Deli in your plans.  We are open and cooking lots of kosher style comfort food for you to nosh on.  Order a party tray and have a basketball party.  You just need to provide the big screen TV!  We will do the rest.

YES WE HAVE A CHILDREN'S MENU

Saturday, January 1, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
Looking for a place with a great Children's Menu in Indianapolis?  Shapiro's Deli has always enjoyed the fact that generations of families come to nosh together on special occasions.  Children 12 years and younger are invited to order from our Children's Menu.  We offer great kosher style sandwiches in a child's portion along with one side dish for $3.95 plus tax.  If they aren't ready for a full meal you can get just the entree for only $2.95 plus tax.  They can also choose a hot dog, corn dog, spaghetti, chilled cheese sandwich or chicken.  There are plenty of sides to choose from too - macaroni and cheese, jello, applesauce, potato salad, fruit cup, green beans and many others.  People tell us every day how they used to come to Shapiro's when they were kids and it remains a part of their fondest memories of family and good food.  So bring the kids next time!  We also have high chairs and booster seats for the little bitty ones.  Hope to see you soon!

ATTENTION WEIGHT WATCHERS

Saturday, December 11, 2010 by Tracy Fiddler
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!

Friday, November 19, 2010 by Tracy Fiddler
Thanks to everyone who voted for us in THEINDYCHANNEL.COM A-LIST awards.  We came in #2 in the Best Sandwich Shop category, which means we need a few more votes next year!  We know we are #1 in quality, #1 in value, #1 in selection, and #1 in having the greatest customers in Indianapolis and Carmel, not to mention all of central Indiana and surrounding states.  The loyalty of our patrons is unparalleled.  We have literally served generations of families and watched infants grow into parents themselves.  That loyalty is especially seen at this time of year, when those families get together to celebrate the holidays with us.  

We will be preparing many party trays, catering events, and baking cakes and pies for everyone.  Shapiro's Delicatessen would love to be a part of your holiday traditions.  Give us a call and order some great kosher style food for your family or business gatherings.  Let us do the work!  You relax and make some memories.
