Monday Munchies: Firehouse Deli- Greenwich, CT

January 21, 2013

As part of my Monday Munchies series, I will feature a different eatery for a review on the first and third Monday of every month. Hope you enjoy!

fire house deli_01

Whenever I’m back home in Connecticut I try to get to the Firehouse Deli for breakfast or lunch because I love everything they make. Plus, a great deli sandwich is much harder to come by in Boston and I need my fix when I can get it.

When I moved to Boston back in 2003 for college I discovered that delis don’t exist in the same why that I grew up with. Especially since that within walking distance there were a few delis from my house. I always had a quick option for breakfast or lunch a short walk away. And then about a half mile away is a park and beach when I would sit and eat lunch in the summer. Bliss.

So while I have found some great delis in The North End I always love to head home to get my favorite sandwiches. Besides getting a loaded turkey or ham sandwich I love their hot sandwiches. Some of my favorites are the Hot Gobbler (hot turkey, melted swiss, and garlic dressing) and the FedEx (chicken cutlet, bacon, cheddar, and BBQ sauce). But my all time favorite is the Real Deal Holyfield, aka The Real Deal. Oh, that sandwich is just the best ever with its grilled chicken, bacon, fresh mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard. Try it, I dare you.

But don’t worry if you can’t make it to the deli for lunch you can still get a great sandwich at breakfast!

Can’t pass on the classic Bacon Egg and Cheese for just $3.25. Don’t like bacon? Then have sausage, ham, or turkey. I’d always get a turkey, egg whites, and cheese sandwich when I managed to get up a bit early to swing by there before driving to high school. But the bacon, egg, and cheese is a great breakfast sandwich to enjoy from the Firehouse Deli since they layer cheese, egg, bacon, egg, and cheese again on a bulkie. Makes for a complete bite!

Every now and then Price and I will split a Montana on a roll. The Montana is a LOADED sandwich with its 2 eggs, ham, cheese, chili, and a hashbrown . The $4.99 sandwich is jam packed and finger licking good. I think the hashbrown layer is genius but the chili is my favorite part. No wait, it might be the hashbrowns AND chili. It’s quite possibly the perfect hangover cure. Ever.

Everything at the Firehouse deli is fresh, quick, and delicious. Give it a try if you are in the area.

Living by countdowns

April 2, 2010

I can’t just live in the  moment. I constantly look forward to the things to come. It’s not to say that I don’t enjoy what I’m doing at that moment. It’s just ingrained in me. I look forward to holidays, birthdays, seasons, vacations, etc. Sure while on vacation I love every second of it and think of nothing else, but once I am back I’m thinking ” Okay, where to next? What’s the next project?”

Vintage Westclox Pocket Ben Pocket Watch  -  Manufactured in Canada August 1948

This week has been long in the fact that it rained again there were more water issues. I’m tired of sump pumps and dehumidifiers. We moved the computer in the office to have a better set up and in lost internet connection for no real reason than to annoy me. Annoying engineers. Stepping over hoses in the bathroom. Angry rabbits who are determined to go in their normal place but can’t because of the hole in the floor. The list can go on but the point is that looking forward to the weekend has gotten me through the week.

4/2- Leave for Greenwich- LESS THAN 5 HOURS!

4/3-4- Day in the City- 1 day

4/13- Glee is back!- 11 days

4/16-4/18- Weekend in Skaneateles- 13 days

4/27- Semi Precious Weapons concert- 24 days

5/1- CKC Manchester- 32 days

5/23- LOST Series final- 50 days

5/29- BAC graduation and party!- 59 days

  

I can’t wait to reach these ‘milestones’ and cross them off my list to amp up for the next thing

PS- I would love this pocket watch.
