Gourmet Grocer offering a variety of delicious sandwiches, cold case to go offerings and a hot meal each day. The "Broadway" sandwich is my favorite along with their kale Caesar and roasted brussel sprouts! If you're lucky enough to see the mexican brownie dessert, grab one! It has a little "kick" in the chocolate :)
