Village Deli — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I was looking for a place to grab a quick bite while I waited at the bus station for rush hour to die down, and I passed on three different options before I looked inside this place.

There's a small grocery area for canned and dry goods, beer, soda, cigarettes, and lotto tickets, but what caught my eye was the stocked Boar's Head deli case and the sandwich menu, promising good quality fresh sandwiches.

They have a few good looking house specialties on the board, but I went with a tuna hero.

I have to say that, for the area, the price was excellent. The staff was friendly and professional, and this seems to be a neighborhood favorite, based on the clientele.

Be polite and know your place in line. ✨️Tip: I place my (very specific) order over the phone and pick it up at the counter when I arrive. Minimizes...
