Stone Pickle Deli & Pub

About 15 years ago, John Albert owned and operated a deli before leaving the sandwich business for a 10-year exploration of the film industry. His most recent effort, the independent Eviction Notice, locally made with local actors, is currently screening across Europe. Now he's returning to sandwiches with Stone Pickle Deli & Pub, a lunch-dinner-and-drinks spot across the street from Kenton Park. At present, they offer about eight house sandwiches (you can also build your own), as well as a wide selection of beer, wine and specialty Italian soda-inspired Martinis. Albert says that, in the summer months, Stone Pickle will offer picnic lunches in which they'll provide you with a basket full of food and a blanket to spread out on for picnics in the nearby park. They also plan on offering regulars a secret menu. You can ask about it, but you might want to first develop with them a rapport that will keep you in the know. Chad Walsh, 1/1/11
