On my second day working in Charlotte, I was much better prepared.   I'd scoped out the local shops and restaurants and decided to get myself a sandwich for lunch at Dean & Deluca.\n\nWhile I've never actually been to the original Dean & Deluca in New York City, I've been to their Napa Valley location several times and it is quite and impressive store:  a colorful aisle with fresh vegetables and fruits, an aromatic display of various cheeses, and a beautiful display of breads and pastries it makes my mouth water just thinking about it.\n\nThis Charlotte location is tiny in comparison, but they made me a beautiful Italian sandwich to go and, while it was somewhat pricey at $9, the sandwich was ample enough to allow me to eat only half and save the rest for the next day.    The bread was nice and fresh and the tomato, mozzarella and charcuterie on the sandwich made for a beautiful lunch.    I would highly recommend you try their sandwiches!
