Greenbank Gems

Greenbank - our nearest tiny neighborhood and home to the best deli on the island.

Greenbank - a neighborhood just a few minutes north and a must stop if you love a deli.

Don't miss the sandwiches at Greenbank Pantry - call ahead to avoid a long wait. Or order spontaneously and grab a bench there because the wait is worth it. Our favs are the nomad, the reuben, the jersey -- okay -- all of them. They are also a classic deli with a great little selection of meats, cheese and wine. Recently the Pantry opened a beautiful bakery in the next door building. Dolce Bakery and Cafe is a hit for weekday breakfast treats.
