Lighthouse Deli

Talk about sketchy. The guy had to buzz me in just to get in the door. The «décor» is a bunch of video lottery machines. Said machines were piloted by old men who don’t seem to mind the fact that the place is pretty bright for a lottery bar. When I asked what sausage the employee recommended, he looked surprised and said, let me see what I have.” He looked through a few heating trays and found one that had about 3 sausages that looked like they had been there no less than a day and said, «I got these ones.» I left.
If you are into well-​lit video poker this is the place. If you are in the neighborhood and want a bite, go to hoho.

The deli is nearly invisible despite being just off Powell, it is a small space next to the HoHo Chinese place, so I thought I’d go in for a sandwich. This is a lottery joint (about 10 video lottery games) that happens to also serve microwaved sausages/​dogs on a bun, pretty much on a par with 7-​eleven. I wouldn’t go there expecting anything more than gas stop fare.
