So Long Kleins. Thanks for the Roosevelts.
After 27 years in business Klein’s Deli a Potrero Hill institution served it’s last neighborhood sandwich yesterday. They are looking for a new locale in the area, but are having a hardtime. As Steven said it’s hard for a sandwich shop that pay benefits to all staff to increase it’s daily revenue by 2x, even when the writing is on the wall.
Recently a local photographer set-up a photobooth and snapped pictures of customers all day. Last night after the final close they moved the translucent prints to cover the windows. The glowing smiles and laughs radiating from within is a fitting good-bye to 27 years of a much appreciated business.
My regular was the Roosevelt, but the Kahlo and the Cunningham worked everytime. Heck if it wasn;t for Klein’s I never know I liked egg salad.
