Corner Shop: Carl’s Deli
There’s a good chance you’ve driven by Carl’s Deli and didn’t even know it. But a few things could alert you to its presence: the tables and chairs outside, the chalkboard advertising the day’s specials, or perhaps the easy-going feeling you get when you pass the place.

On Tap: Mikkeller
Last fall, when I moved across the river, I found my long lost New Holland Brewery growler (I went to college just a few blocks from the New Holland brewpub).
