Thursdays I usually meet a few of my friends from the Elks Club for breakfast. Looking back at the last couple of blog posts, I see I eat out a lot. Well, one must eat after all, and why not put some money into the local economy as well? So I was happy to drive to Little Falls to Ann Street Restaurant and Deli.
It looks like they still have their Christmas decorations outside.
The sign says, “Restaurant and Deli,” but their Facebook page is “Ann Street Deli,” and I usually hear it referred to as Ann Street Deli. I add this purely for information’s sake. I remembered to take a picture before going in, so I would have an illustration for my blog post. I have eaten at Ann Street many times, for breakfast or lunch. It is a very popular spot, for good reason.
I had one of my favorites: a sandwich with egg, ham and cheese on a grilled hard roll. One of my companions asked for mayonnaise on his sandwich (I forget which kind he got), and I said, “Oh yeah, put mayonnaise on my sandwich, too!” I got into putting mayonnaise on my breakfast sandwiches in the army. A friend who was from Alabama used to do it, and when I was in Georgia, the Waffle House automatically brought a packet of mayo with your sandwich. I thought it was a southern thing.
Of course I had coffee and a glass of water. And I enjoyed some good conversation. Looking around, I saw that Ann Street is a gathering place as well as a restaurant. There were a lot of groups of various sizes enjoying each other’s company as well as a good breakfast.
Ann Street Deli is located at Canal Place, Little Falls, NY, phone number 315-823-3290.
