In Search of the Perfect Pickle: Field trip TO Benjies New York Deli in Santa Ana
- Date: Sunday, December 7, 2025
- Time: 5:00pm–7:00pm
Meeting place in Long Beach TBD
It’s a dilly – or should we say deli – of a field trip! Are you a corned beef connoisseur? A matzo ball maven? A pastrami professor? A chopped liver champion? Join us as we visit some nearby delis to check out their food, ambiance, and of course, their pickles! You have two dates and two delis to choose from – come to one or both! Benjie’s Deli in Santa Ana was founded in 1967 by Stan Weinstein and is still run by his son and daughter-in-law. New York Deli in Torrance, which we will visit in March, was opened in 1985 to bring a taste of New York to the South Bay. We’ll be carpooling from Long Beach. Please bring cash or a credit card to cover your meal.
