Hi Bob - I had to laugh when I read your complaint - I live on the East Coast and when I visit the West Coast frequently, I miss the same things. However, there is a great deli in New Jersey, (just so happens to be a client of our firm), known the country over for their great knishes, and the like, and they ship throughout the country. Just go to www.celebritydeli.com, and read their web page. Even if you don't order from them, it will make you hungry and want that great East Coast food even more! Good luck!
