I Want to See the Meat Slicer
Posted September 1st, 2009 in Business Casual, Super Casual | PermalinkMatt asks: I’m so sick of Potbelly. Where are the good, fresh sandwiches?
Having OD’d on Potbelly to the point that I can no longer even think about my Wreck-no-cheese-on-wheat without a tiny gag, I feel ya. Here are some of the best spots for a fresh deli sandwich!!!
1) So’s Your Mom – Tiny deli / coffee shop / gourmet market / bakery in Adams Morgan. Also home of the best bagels in DC. The great menu draws a crowd which gets confusing in such a small spot, so just make sure you peak to make sure they hand you your order.
2) GW Deli – Students swear by the prices and portions at this convenience store at 22/G with a deli counter in the back. Breakfast sandwiches too!
3) Connecticut Ave Liquor & Deli - Right at the corner of Conn/Q. You’ve probably walked in to grab a bottle of wine for a party and somehow missed the deli counter. Food is fresh, but known for rude service. But hey, isn’t that part of the deli appeal?
4) Aroma Bakery – New spot on U Street between 13th and 14th. Honestly, I haven’t tried it yet, but Price of Petworth was encouraging!

Taylor Deli on H St NE – awesome sandwiches!

Also great fresh sandwiches at:
Loeb’s NY Deli (15th & I NW): Great corned beef, pastrami and tongue.
Phillip’s Cafe (14th, between H & I, NW): Fresh carved roasts of all types (ham, turkey, roast beef, pork leg, etc.). Meat tends to be underseasoned, so add mustard, horseradish, salt/pepper to your sandwich)
Washington Deli (20th and I, NW): great fresh sandwiches and pizza

I LOVE Taylor for my chicken cutlet fix!!! Rumor has it they’re opening up another shop at 5/K!!!

Yeah, gotta have Loeb’s. Also, Phillip’s has a satellite location between 12 and 13th on E that is a beautiful, giant sandwich factory.

Loeb’s FTW! – I feel so blessed to have it literally across the street from us here at ACLU. Gotta try the Madison Ave. sandwich.
Also anywhere that serves Boar’s Head meats. Makes me nostalgic for Publix subs from back home in FL.

The Best Sandwich shop on 18th and L– they give you fresh carved turkey and roast chicken on your sandwiches or burritos!

If you’re ever stuck down in cube city, I highly recommend The Atrium Cafe: http://www.yelp.com/biz/atrium-cafe-washington
All meats freshly sliced in front of you. Warning: cash only.

[...] concept is to pay for the parking spot for the day and use the space as a park! Hon, go grab some sandwiches and a bottle of wine and let’s sit here in this parking [...]

[...] in the window that it seems to be much cheaper. Should Eli’s Deli be added to the list of best spots in D.C. to get a good deli sandwich? You decide. For now, enjoy this amazing picture of the bench in front of Eli’s Deli [...]

I really can’t say enough about Taylor Gourmet on H Street NE – and they DELIVER!!
Also a great hidden place is A. Literri’s in the FLORIDA Ave Warehouse district.

Just took a look at your blog and really enjoy your posts! Thanks for the tip about GW Deli; I’ve walked by that place for years, but will make a point to stop in now.
Surprised no one has mentioned the sandwiches at Jettie’s on Foxhall. Amazing!
