ICYMI: Islanders & Sandwiches: 1 Year Of Blue Line Deli

HUNTINGTON, NY — New York Islanders hockey. The coronavirus. Massive sandwiches. Toilet paper. Those are a few things that come to mind when considering the first year in business for Blue Line Deli, an NHL-themed establishment in Huntington.

It wasn't even a week after Donald Rosner opened his passion project on March 12, 2020, that the coronavirus pandemic threatened everything he had worked for. One year later, Blue Line Deli still stands tall, and Rosner, 39, has a lot he's looking forward to — Islanders hockey chief among them. After all, the "Orange and Blue" are woven deep into the fabric of the deli.

"It's never been more exciting for me to be an Islanders fan," Rosner told Patch. "The team is just amazing."
