Plosky's Deli

Dave Eisenson founded Plosky’s Delicatessen to fill a specific gap in Carbondale’s food scene: a proper pastrami-on-rye. The deli occupies a building on Main Street with its entrance facing Colorado Avenue, operating as a bakery, cafe, and store that serves breakfast, lunch, and drinks. The menu centers on Jewish heritage dishes and genuine New York bagels, prepared from scratch using mindfully sourced ingredients. Dave, a Boston transplant, brings his great-grandfather Harry Plosky’s Lithuanian immigrant legacy to the kitchen, often found slinging sandwiches and occasionally singing operatic vocals. The business provides catering services for parties and events alongside its daily retail offerings. Plosky’s maintains a $$ price point and is wheelchair accessible with parking available. The establishment operates seven days a week, serving the local community with a focus on nourishment and food education.
