The Hickory Stick

Near the Hamilton Princess, the Hickory Stick is the most popular delicatessen and takeout restaurant in the city. It serves 1,000 customers a day, including lots of office workers. Although one section seems like a coffee shop (with scones, doughnuts, and morning coffee), most customers come here for overstuffed sandwiches and takeout meals. It ain't glamorous: You'll stand in line, order your food, pay, and carry your food to a table. Offerings include steaming portions of chicken Parmesan and fish cakes. Even more popular are the salads, sandwiches, and hot dogs, all of which can be wrapped up for a picnic -- the staff provides paper napkins and plastic cutlery on request. The restaurant has added a sushi bar. Advance telephone orders are accepted -- a good idea if you don't want to wait.
