Mile End, Brooklyn

i don't usually do restaurant reviews. but i wrote back in may 2010 or so about how montreal bagels were now available in brooklyn at a new montreal deli restaurant that opened, called "mile end." i finally got to go to "mile end" when i was in new york for my extended visit. and by finally getting to dine there, i don't mean once or twice. i was sucking back poutine, smoked meat, bagels and lox as frequently as i could afford to (and frankly, my gut really couldn't afford it, but oh well.) one day i had lunch and dinner there! what could i do, the latkes were only on for dinner!? anyway, this place is amazing. and i'm not just saying that because i am a nostalgia-phile, but also because the food is delicious. the downside is the wait. there are very few tables, so the waits are ridiculous. worth the wait? i would say so. the only thing that would have made "mile end" better was if i ran into leonard cohen dining there.
