If you want soup and a cold sandwich, you get to stand in two lines. On the plus side, this is an extremely clean and attractive space. The young staff handles the noontime melee with aplomb, and their refusal to get nettled is passed on to the customer. They fill orders quickly too. If none of them knocked our socks off, none fell below acceptable quality and a couple went beyond that.
All sandwiches come with a pickle.
Our favorite by far was the pastrami with Swiss on rye. The only disappointment was the quality of the tomatoes, which on this visit and an earlier one were far too pale for the harvest month of September. The bread could have been a bit fresher. The maple-glazed roast turkey on a kaiser roll tasted fine, but the meat was sliced so thin that its flavor didn't come through. We encountered a similar slicing problem with the hot, richly flavored corned beef.
