Must-Try Dishes: Custom deli sandwich (made to order), Grab-and-go deli sandwich, Chicken salad (deli)

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered and competitive during weekday lunch hours.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, work attire, or grab-and-go friendly clothing.

Weekend wait: Not applicable—primarily a daytime market and lunch stop.
Weekday lunch: Short line at the deli counter during peak noon hours; usually under 10 minutes.
Dietary Options

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a sit-down date—better for a casual daytime meetup or quick lunch together.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system; seating is minimal and first-come, with many customers taking food to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—easy sandwich options, snacks, and a relaxed market setting work well for kids.
Best For
Better for: Fast, practical sandwiches and market-style convenience compared to full-service delis or cafes.
Skip if: You want a leisurely sit-down lunch or a destination sandwich experience—choose a dedicated sandwich shop instead.
