Choose from a never-ending list of sandwiches where each one is better than the last. Whatever fixins you are craving, Mati's Deli has them piled high, then layered to perfection. Favorites include the Prime Time and Carol's Temptation, or basically anything that has a heaping dose of coleslaw on it. But really, anything found on the extensive menu is worth ordering.The charming atmosphere of the shop is punctuated by swivel stools lining the counter and cute bistro seating scattered around the eatery. Mati's is compact in size and a popular lunchtime destination, so the outdoor seating on the sidewalk is the perfect place to dive into your sandwich when weather permits.

Slide onto a bench and dive into some great conversation and a stacked sandwich at the Russell Street Deli. Settle in for the long haul with a standard reuben or pastrami that tastes anything but standard, or venture into vegetarian territory with a avocado melt or grilled veggie on rye. With its unpretentious style and focus on community, the casual atmosphere is conducive to laid-back lunching and perhaps making some new friends.

Hygrade Deli is a sweet little spot that makes monstrous sandwiches. This neighborhood locale is the place to hit for a corned beef sandwich as high as the Penobscot and quite possibly as big as your plate. Known around the city for its corned beef, order this signature sandwich and it will be delivered to the table accompanied by a pickle. The throwback setting carries you through to another era as soon as you step through the door. But the vibe isn't all about looks, it also rests in the acknowledgement customers receive as they step through the door. The friendly atmosphere brings back a nostalgia of a time when people were happy to see you, and welcomes you into the establishment. It may be because the owner can often be found behind the counter.
