Carl's Deli

It's easy to get caught up in staring at the houses on Observatory Road and blow right by Carl's Deli, but if you do, you're missing out. Carl's is a must-have for Hyde Parkers. While the pricing reflects Hyde Park's real estate, it's still reasonable considering the delightful sandwiches and fantastic customer service. Carl's somehow finds the friendliest and most outgoing workers. Not only that, but you can pick up a fine bottle of wine, gourmet snacks and cookies for a top-of-the-line picnic. Try the crafty egg salad with swiss and red onion.
