Day 24 - Schwartz's Heaven

A bitterly cold day in Montreal (- 35 or lower with wind chill) didn't stop us from tracking down Schwartz's deli for a smoked meat sandwich.

What a fantastic place. Despite its fame, Schwartz's remains an unassuming little diner with plenty of staff and big crowds from opening to close. We got there just before the lunch-hour rush and got a table right away, despite the fact that most of the place was packed.

Fast service and great food make it an excellent lunch choice. I know, the photos aren't anything spectacular but the food certainly is.

If I could go back (and I'd indeed like to go back) and try to find a way to even out the light in the top picture, since the flash bleached out the pickle a bit and left the sandwich itself too dark. Probably moving back a bit and using the zoom more would have helped. Oh well. The pictures still do a nice job of capturing the flavour of the food and the place itself, I think.
