The Everyday Joe

Newtown Deli and Catering, 79 South Main Street, Newtown, CT

Reuben on a hero?  No problem.

Giant iced tea? Sure, we'll even put it in a deli container and poke a hole in the top for a straw.

Big selection of salads, hot/cold appetizers, wide array of 'house sandwiches' and even a TV tuned to the news for those taking advantage of the seating you offer?  They got that too.

Newtown Deli does it's thing very well, and while it's not convenient  if you are heading up to Danbury from I-95, or vice versa, take the rouddabout way via SR-25 and have a quick lunch in Newtown.

Patty's Pantry - 1224 Strongtown Rd., Southbury, CT

Sometimes you just have to stop and grab a bite and get back on the road.  If you're coming up on Exit 16 on I-84, pull off and try Patty's Pantry.

I had a turkey club - my standby comfort sandwich - and was blown away.  Thick and fresh (like a good NYC deli), with a good selection of hot and cold foods spread out.
