Long live Snowdon Deli: A photo essay tribute with Montreal's Craving Curator

I was raised on Snowdon Del. 

That’s not a typo. That’s what those who know Snowdon Deli call it—that, or ‘The Store’ or ‘The Deli’. 

Tucked away on the corner of Décarie Blvd. and Isabella Ave., this Montreal landmark delicatessen has been serving the city for over 70 years.

"Quality, our pride"

My first memories of Snowdon Deli weren't at the restaurant, but at Nana and Poppa Usheroff’s house. Fond memories of family gatherings and holidays, smiles, hugs, love, and— most of all, food: There was always, without fail, a rectangular box with a glowing ‘SD’ logo on it with the words ‘quality, our pride’.
