This is a great place for a quick, inexpensive and amazingly fresh lunch. They offer a variety of deli staples, as well as the option to create your own sandwich. If you have any reservations about deli meat, this is the place to go. They slice the meat right in front of you for your sandwich - can't get much fresher than that.
Downtown Deli is a hidden treasure that the locals know well, but the Deli also caters to the college crowd. You can accompany your sandwich with side items such as chips or their delicious soup offerings.
