No doubt Greg would have enjoyed taking the afternoon off. Earlier in the day, he and his eldest daughter Claire competed as a team in the Father's Day Urban Assault Race, which included a grueling 20-mile bicycle race. Long after our party broke up, the Bontempos were cleaning up after us and preparing the deli for opening the next morning.
In truth, the total effort and expense were a donation from Greg. All the Deli received in return was a 1.5" x 3.75" portion of a homes tour booklet ad for the Hyde Park Marketplace. It shared the ad with three other tenants and the Marketplace itself.
Greg grew up working in his father 's deli in New Providence, New Jersey. He became acquainted with Hyde Park when he came to Austin to attend UT and lived on Harris Avenue near Lee School. After college he tried different jobs in different places but returned to Austin 10 years later. By then he wasn't able to afford a home in Hyde Park but he did succeed in establishing a successful deli and catering service here which celebrated its 8th anniversary on June 28. Beginning in September, the deli will be licensed to serve wine and beer and plans to start serving dinner.
We are extremely fortunate to have Austin's best delicatessen within walking distance, and we are proud to number among our neighbors Greg Bontempo and his hardworking family.
