Kosher deli platters delivered in Arlington

[Fat Guy]

A friend needs to send some kosher-style deli platters to an event in Arlington, VA, as soon as possible. Anybody got a line on a place that can handle this sort of thing same-day? I did some Googling and came up with

but I have no clue.

I was very happy with the kosher deli platter I got from my (luckily) local family-owned grocery store. I don't know if delivery is an option though, but they are just off the beltway in Silver Spring if picking it up is a possibility. I placed my order one afternoon and picked it up the next morning. Everyone said the quality was fabulous.

This is probably too late to be of help, but for future reference, the Second Avenue Deli in NYC will ship orders anywhere in the U.S. I'm not sure, but I believe that they can ship fedex for next-day delivery.

(Full disclosure: the owner of the deli is my cousin).

At the higher end, Ridgewell's Caterers has a kosher catering division:

I have actually had sandwiches at the Celebrity Deli and they are really good. I would not be afraid of them. Of course, it HAS been awhile since I was there.

My very casual, drop-in-when-you-feel-like-it wedding rehearsal dinner was catered by Katz's Kosher Supermarket in Rockville, MD. They can turn orders around quickly and did a nice dairy-and-fish dinner for us. My large Jewish family loved the food...what's not to love? Shalom Kosher in Wheaton, MD has catered events I've attended and they're fine too. Both are lower-end in price and pretty casual, but if it's a deli platter you need and it must be Glatt they are the safest bets (Shalom is superglatt; some ultraOrthodox will not eat Katz's stuff). They can both work quickly and both deliver to DC, so they very well may deliver in Arlington as well. Google should find you both their websites easily.

Oh, and as far as I know, Snider's has no hechsher. They might have something I don't know about, but if you care about Kosher and not just Kosher-style, they probably won't work. If it doesn't have to be Kosher, check them out, and also price Parkway Delicatessen on Grubb Road in Silver Spring.
