On our way back to the North we rolled into Richmond, Virginia one lazy and hot afternoon. Walking around one notices that this particular Southern city is built more on a grander scale than either Charlston or Savannah. Both of these cities had seemed to be like little doll house cities, pretty and almost untouchable like dresden china. Richmond is alive with the hub and personality of a large city. One can immediately tell that tourism isn't the only business that keeps this city afloat.
Anyway hunger pangs set in as they usually do when one is hanging around cities and playing tourist. We walked around looking for nourishment for our rumbling tummies and stumbled upon Coppola's Deli. It can be safely said that after one meal at Coppola's, it is one of the best Deli experiences to be had. And that dear sirs is quite a tall order. Especially if one lives in New York city and is surrounded by deli's and sometimes literally lives in one!
Unlike most Deli's which seem to work on automatic, this one actually gives you the feel and warmth of a restaurant. We were just in time for lunch and watched as the almost empty deli immediately started filling up with suits and such from the nearby predominantly government office area.
The simple chef's salad and the 3 cheese sandwich was fresh and delicious. We gobbled up our food like there was no tomorrow -Richmond, at that time had it going on!
