Un sandwich, s'il vous plait

So I looked at Overheard in New York for the first time today, after having heard about it often over the past year. Most of it was kind of meh, but I thought this one was hilarious:

Tourist girl #1: You didn't want to go to the Star, the Times Square or the Roxy... so what are we supposed to eat for lunch?
Tourist girl #2: Well, I don't care, but none of these French food places.
Tourist girl #1: French food?
Tourist girl #2: Yeah, all these places are delicatessens... That's French food!
Tourist girl #1: No, it's like sandwiches and stuff!
Tourist girl#2: Then why don't they just call it a deli?
