These modest-priced quality sandwich places have become the Starbucks of lunchtime take-out. The popularity is easy to understand. Their buttery bread is always fresh and the sandwiches, salads and wraps are custom-made from a huge assortment of fresh ingredients. Sparkling clean and aimed to satisfy the most particular palate, what could be better for the busy lunch muncher?

Set on a quiet cobblestone street, this place is a fabulous find. Run by the folks who own Bayard's restaurant, the European baked goods and pastries are exceptional. In addition to stellar baked goods, they also offer a wonderful selection of holiday gift items.
