"Phillips ran MercBar (which closed last year) at Esplanade near the Biltmore for 28 years. While the shopping center was undergoing renovations, the owners offered Phillips free space to launch the pop-up, he told Jewish News in June. The intrigue: Little Pickle was never supposed to return after its initial pop-up, but Phillips said the owners of the Esplanade told him they were bombarded with calls asking when the deli would return."
""Everybody wanted the pastrami, the pastrami, the pastrami!" he told Jewish News. Little Pickle is mostly a take-out shop, but there are a few seats for dine-in.

Phillips ran MercBar at Esplanade near the Biltmore for 28 years before it closed. While the shopping center underwent renovations, the owners offered Phillips free space to launch a pop-up. Little Pickle returned after the Esplanade owners received numerous calls asking when the deli would reopen. Little Pickle opened permanently over the summer as a mostly take-out shop with a handful of dine-in tables. Menu highlights include "The Works" bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onion and capers; the bagel offers a crunchy texture and plentiful house-smoked lox. Phillips and partner Peter Hearn opened The Mercer next door and plan to open Camello later this year.
