There's a great little deli that offers up good food and peculiar sandwiches. That place is Promise Deli, and it's a pain to get to on foot. Walking there with my friend, Ryan, we usually have no issues walking on the side of the road that has no side walk and is very close to the cars (overly dramatic), however it's worth it.
Promise offers up traditional deli fare to your liking and as well, they have a variety of hot (and a few cold) sandwiches that will likely not be found anywhere else. The famed "Sandwiche" which is a combo of buffalo grilled chicken, mozzarella, bleu cheese on a garlic hero. A weird combination, though it works and I like to add bacon to it. Other specials include the "Boulevard," "Fire Island Chicken," "The Brooklyn Bridge" and many more.
The reason I'm writing this deli up other than the fact that I admire the business is that I had a really hard time getting there today. Normally, we do walk on the side of the road with not much room for movement on our side, only in front and behind, though that's never a problem. However, there were landscaping trucks parked all along our route to get there, and I wanted lunch. I'm making sure I eat after what happened this past Saturday.
Anyway, if the road is on our right side, to the left of us are overgrown weeds and bushes. Doesn't seem so bad, except we couldn't really get around the trucks on our right side without being in the middle of the road. I tried to make my way in on the left, and Ryan smartly waited for me to come back because I was stuck all over with barbs from rose bushes, which I wasn't going to do. We ended up looking and running, and we made it easily in one piece.
On the way out we decided to use the side walk even though the truck had left at that point. It was a good lesson learned, because I'll do a lot for food, though I'm not going to get killed over one lunch.
