If you're going to grab something to eat and take it to a park, a deli sandwich is my favorite meal. Here is my list of my favorite sandwiches in town -

Benny Foods Ltd

598 Union St, Vancouver, BC, V6A2B8

Pick up a sandwich on your stroll: One of the most interesting neighborhoods to stroll around in is Strathcona - wander in after browsing around Chinatown or after playing at the nearby park. I love looking at all of the houses - it's fun to make up stories about who lives inside each one. Don't pass by Bennys without going in: it's a part of Vancouver history, been there for over 85 years which is quite a feat in our young city - it's a real neighborhood cornerstore run by the same family and they'll even make you a fresh sandwich (pretty cheap too, I think they are about $4.00?)

Benny's Bagels

2505 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC, V5M1Y4

Best Lox and Creamcheese Bagel I've Ever Had: We make a special trip to go to Benny's - I always have the same thing, it's the best version of salmon and cream cheese I've ever had and believe me I've tried this combo all over the place, including New York and Montreal. Not sure what they do different but I find myself craving the Benny's version. They have tables outside, a cozy seating area by a fireplace and also an upstairs seating area all in an easy natural style that hearkens back to the area's hippie days... Great place to stop and pick up an impromptu picnic on your way to the beach!

La Grotta Del Formaggio Inc

1791 Commercial Dr, Vancouver, BC, V5N4A4

Big Italian Style Sandwiches: This Italian grocery store and deli has the tastiest sandwiches on Commercial Drive. Often there is a line up to order, but it always goes very fast. Pick up some dolmathes from the deli as a sandwich sidekick and then take yourself to the bakery next door for dessert and a coffee.

Canada Safeway Ltd

8555 Granville St, Vancouver, BC, V6P4Z9

Grilled Sandwiches: The deli section at Safeway will make you a grilled sandwich - they are reasonably priced and made from fresh ingredients. With locations all over the place, they are a convenient place to pop in and grab a meal on the go. Much better than the plastic wrapped pre-made sandwiches you will find at a chain convenience store or a gas station...

Elizabeth Bakery

1303 Commercial Dr, Vancouver, BC, V5L3X5

Cheap and Tasty: Elizabeth's Bakery is super close to two different playgrounds and parks (Grandview-Woodlands and Victoria) so it's a good place to pick up lunch. Their sandwiches aren't super fancy but they are fresh and cheap (under $4).

Frannie's Gourmet Deli

325 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC, V6B2N4

Fried Egg Sandwich, Anyone?: These sandwiches aren't fancy but they are addictive - the husband and wife owners of this little deli restaurant make the food for you themselves with fresh ingredients and serve it with friendly chit chat. A great break from browsing all of the interesting shops in the area or after buying your sewing or craft stuff at Dressew around the corner. They also have simple but tasty breakfasts.
