Bite Of The Day: Sandwiches At Farmer In The Deli

The first time I ordered a sandwich from Farmer In The Deli [www.yelp.com/biz/farmer-in-the-deli-brooklyn] (357 Myrtle Avenue, at Adelphi Street) back in 2009, I didn’t know what to expect. Friends had told me that they had the best and most affordable sandwiches around, but I’m

Things are looking up since Hartwell Vegetarian [/blog/business/at-first-bite-hartwell-vegetarian] moved in, but just before their opening this weekend, we

Bite Of The Day: Colorful Bagels From John's

If you ask me, the only thing that makes a regular baked good better is an unusual color. Purply blueberry muffins? Check. Chocolate chip cookies tinted green for Saint Patrick’s Day? They’re just more fun that way! So, the bright-colored bagels at John’s Bakery [https://www.facebook.
