We Finally Went To The Little Deli

And it was good. In fact, yes, it did live up to its legend. We kept hearing about this LIttle Deli place hidden amidst barber shops and neighborhood pharmacies (well, okay, one barber shop and one pharmacy and a dry cleaners, too) in the Crestview neighborhood. A reader even wrote us to encourage our going there and be sure to try the vegetarian sandwich, she said. So we went already and we got that vegetarian sandwich and we were very impressed.

It's quite unlike other veggie sandwiches we've tried in that genuine creativity was involved in putting this delicious thing together. There is the usual, yes--the cheese and lettuce and tomato and onion, but then you've got thin slices of eggplant, marinated artichoke hearts, and a special olive spread stuffed in a kaiser roll. Bravo Little Deli, bravo.

    yea! as the reader who wrote in, i'm glad that you liked it.



    another great thing about the little deli - if you keep going, lucretia (the owner) will get to know you by name, and if one day you forget your wallet, she will give you a delicious sandwich and a pickle anyway and tell you to pay her back next time you come.



    and they have RC cola! really, what's not to love about the little deli ?

    there's nothing in austin i miss more than the little deli since i moved to ny. the vegetarian sandwich is heaven between two slices of bread, lovingly served by someone who calles you 'honey.'

    not to mention the fabulously flamboyant sandwichista at the front who loves loves loves babies. watch out for her if you've got a hangover, she's got a powerful voice... hunnnnney!
