ladies who lunch



I've found a few good places for salad or sandwiches.

Let's start with Firehouse Subs.  this chain is somewhat new to Long Island.  Kind of gimmicky for a storefront sub shop.  the decorations are all relate to  (of course) a fire house.





They serve a variety of hot and cold subs, with salads as an alternate choice.  There are numerous items under 500 calories if that is a concern.  The only "sides" are bagged chips, but there's a Freestyle Coke Machine.  I ordered the Hook and Ladder Light -- Hot smoked turkey breast, Virginia honey ham, Monterrey Jack, lettuce, tomato, onion, deli mustard and light mayo on a light wheat roll.  It was served with a kosher pickle spear.  The food was fresh and tasty, the sandwich very filling.

Next up, Panera Bread.  this has been one of my  "go-to" chains for awhile.  A variety of soups, salads and sandwiches, pastries, and even breakfast items.Eat-in or take-out.  Free wifi.  My favorites include broccoli cheddar soup, mac and cheese, Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich.  

I've recently discovered the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad -- chicken, romaine lettuce, fresh cilantro,
sliced almonds, sesame seeds and crispy wonton strips in a sesame vinaigrette.  A half order with French bread was very filling -- you can also get chips or an apple as your side, but the bread is so soft and fresh and delicious.

And then, there's Gemini Deli.  Local deli, not a chain.  I've been ordering a lot of salads -- they have prepared salads as well as "build your own."  Nice variety of toppings for your salad, lots of choices for dressing.  A bit on the expensive side, but the food is fresh.  Parking lot is a bit crazy, but even during a busy lunch hour you don't have to wait long for your food.
