“Pardon our gushing, but we love Murray's. The shop specializes in smoked fish, kosher deli meats, chopped liver & the smoothest, whitest tuna salad anywhere.” And: “Caviar is another great item. You can be sure Murray's carries the finest.”
“Murray's is the place to get herring salad, whitefish salad and the most amazing spinach and egg salad ever. You won't believe the tuna salad either.”
“Whether you're looking for caviar, smoked fish, an unforgettable knish — or dozens of other items in this spotless little shop — you know you'll always get the freshest & the very best.”
“The very best tuna salad can be found at Murray's. It's so white it's almost luminous.”
