After doing quite a bit of research I've found the best place to get lunch is:

Ben's Best Gourmet Delicatessen

There were A LOT of issues involved in finding a lunch place.

The BIGGEST hurdle is distance! There are A LOT of places near LGA that are a 10-15 car ride away...HOWEVER with a group our size we need a place that allows for EASY public transit to/from LGA and places that are 10 minutes by car ended up being 45 minutes by bus. Some places even required changing buses or LONG walks.

Ben's Best is about 35 minutes away from LGA via the Q72 bus and is very close to the bus stop.

I've been in contact with the management there and they are happy accommodate a large group and to allow each person to pay for themselves individually.

The NY kosher Deli is really a unique experience and the food they serve is not something that you can get easily anywhere outside of NYC!

As stated on their website...last year:

Guy Fieri and his team from the Food Network Show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives recently came to Ben's Best Deli to interview owner, Jay Parker and a few customers.

Here is the link to the tv show segment:

So as you can see this should be a pretty unique to NYC experience!

Tentatively we will plan to meet there at 1:30 pm and then take the 3 pm bus back to LGA which will get there around 3:30 pm, which gives enough time to get to our meeting with Delta officials at 4 pm. While we are there people can take turns signing the banner.
