Wurst case scenario: Deli deal sours

Restaurateur Mel Glickstein says he won't do that deli in Bala Cynwyd after all.

Mel Glickstein, who's owned Mel's Italian in Bala Cynwyd for 23 years, says he's pulled the plug on Benny's, a deli he was planning at 145 Montgomery Ave.

Glickstein says the deal, for which he and the building owner had a verbal agreement, was too expensive when pen went to paper.

So the Lower Merion deli war will continue between the nearby Murray's and Hymie's.
