I used to work across the street for 2 years and I loved going there, even though my coworkers were displaced by the initial appearance of the storefront. It’s scrappy and I liked that about the place, plus Wanda is the absolute best at what she does — service always with a smile! This is such a shame…

Good people, good food, good prices, good portions.

Zach – you changed the deli’s name to “Hometown.” Anything you’re not telling us?
