Best Atmosphere
Carter & Cooley
The appeal of longtime Heights sandwich shop Carter & Cooley isn't only in its Bentwood chairs and pressed-tin ceiling, or in the highly polished wood floors and antique scales used to weigh fresh deli meat – it's in the entire neighborhood. The little shop that was once a drugstore has been as lovingly restored as the rest of 19th Street, an effort that has re-created a bustling main street in the city's oldest "suburb." For the last 20 years, owner Neil Sackheim has tended to the building — which was erected in 1921 — as if it were his own child, and it shows in the positive energy and sense of history one feels when noshing on a honey ham and brie or corned beef sandwich.
