34th Street Cafe

1005 W. 34th, 371-3400 Monday-Friday, 11am-9:30pm; Saturday, 11am-4pm, 6-9:30pm
34th Street Cafe is the perfect setting for a quick, informal lunch in an atmosphere more sophisticated and relaxed than your average deli. The menu features a dozen classic deli sandwiches made with Boar's Head meats and cheeses, salads, Tuscan pizzas with crusts as thin as water biscuits, homemade soups, and daily blue-plate specials. At dinner time, the lighting is softened and the cafe features a delightful casual-fine-dining menu under the direction of chef Sarah McDonald. The cafe kitchen offers full-service catering and also prepares sandwich and dessert trays to order.
