We were seated in a small table in the tram. Food (5/5): You were seated and immediately received a full glass of sparkling wine to enjoy. We had our appetizer (bruschetta) while we looked at the menu. The 5:00 pm seating only had three options for dinner - salmon, lamb and a pasta. We had the salmon and the lamb. I was so impressed that they were able to expertly serve the meals, which were warmed somehow in the very small kitchen area. The salmon was good and the lamb was cooked perfectly. We had the cheese plate for dessert and it was delicious. Service (5/5): The waiter was really kind and came by often to see if needed anything. They timed everything perfectly, even to collecting the wine glasses after the dessert. With such a small space, they made everything work effortlessly. Ambiance (5/5): It's a tram and it's so much fun to eat while setting the city. My favorite part was at the end, where you go through New Regent Street, where the tram is just inches from the diners. Some say it's arguably the cutest street in New Zealand. Take the time before or after the tram to explore this area.

We got on-board just steps from our hotel and had an absolute jam riding around with a local friend of ours telling us about all the sights and happenings. The food was way better than expected under such cramped circumstances and the servers and tram crew could not have been more friendly. Was it touristy? Of course it was! But was it a great time and an excellent meal? You bet! When in Christchurch if you don't arrange for this excursion you are cheating yourself out if a great way to see the downtown area and a total blast of an urban dining experience. As those Nike folks used to like to say..."Just do it!"

The smells emanating from the restaurant were strong enough to keep you firmly planted in line though. I'd like to say the line moves fast, but, alas. Though this place is called "New York Deli" it's definitely a take on some American staple sandwiches. As a former New Yorker, the pastrimi ingredients weren't quite correct, but as a new local Kiwi, I thought it sounded great anyway (I never liked American pastrami sandwiches anyhow). The names all have a fun New York theme like Brooklyn Short Rib, Bronx Beef and Salmon on Broadway (except the Obama BLT, that was a random outlier). I opted for the NYD Cheesecake (last minute switch because they ran out of the Chicken SoHo) which is a seasoned flank stank (cooked more medium rare than dry and chewy) with chipotle BBQ (more bbq than chipotle) and cheese on top. I opted to add some veggies at the end of the line, too, as the service works much like a Subway store. I had my sandwhich on turkish bread, but there are two other options which both looked fantastic and fresh as well. I'm excited to go back and try some of the other options, but also, to arrive before 10:30 am and try some of their bagel creations. If there bagels are as good as their bread options, you won't be disappointed.
