East side strategic sandwich reserves being depleted

Sandwich lovers on Madison's east side have suffered a lot of bad news recently.

News came down this summer that Alimentari would be opening a second location out west on Monroe Street. Well, now we learn that the east side location on Brearly is going away.

And now we learn that Stalzy's Deli is closing its restaurant.

In the statement, Stalzy's said, "We will continue to operate in a retail capacity and look forward to still providing our neighborhood with all of our staples. Look for us in fresh new spaces, both in our deli, and in our community." It's unclear whether the deli will continue to sell sandwiches and other items off the restaurant menu.

It's been a while since I've eaten at Stalzy's but I will miss the opportunity to stop in for a Reuben.

Now I am having flashbacks of eating at Ella's Deli and What's Cooking in Chicago.
