In Praise of the Corner Deli

May 18, 2011 4:08 pm · Posted by nancyeinhart

I love a good cup of corner-deli coffee, where they fix up the cream and sugar for you like at a New York bodega. Which is why I first fell for Henry's Deli, located on the ground floor of the building where I work and about the size of a microwave. But this teeny tiny store selling cigs and sodas also offers another San Francisco treat: the exceptional corner-store sandwich.


A few co-workers told me to try Henry's sandwiches, prepared much the way you would at home (Orowheat bread, toaster and microwave, no counter space) with prices to match. Usually on the rare days I venture out for lunch, I like to actually leave the building. That is, until a recent busy, rainy day, when I stopped in for Henry's veggie burger.

Curious about why it deserves a post?
