Near the Hamilton Princess, The Hickory Stick is the most popular delicatessen and takeout restaurant in the city. It serves 1,000 customers a day, including lots of office workers. Although one section seems like a coffee shop (with scones, doughnuts, and morning coffee), most customers come here for overstuffed sandwiches and takeout meals. Offerings include steaming portions of chicken Parmesan and fish cakes. Even more popular are the salads, sandwiches, and hot dogs, all of which can be wrapped up for a picnic -- the staff provides paper napkins and plastic cutlery on request. The restaurant has added a sushi bar. Advance telephone orders are accepted -- a good idea if you don't want to wait.
