Nico's sandwich Deli Signs in Fitzroy for Sign2

 




For reasons known only to him, Joel has developed an unwavering fondness for the sandwiches served at Nico's in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Though the area is notoriously devoid of parking, he insists upon making the pilgrimage, often compelling me to circle the surrounding streets for what feels like hours in search of a suitable space. The inconvenience, however, seems a small price to pay in his eyes, for the sandwiches at Nicco's are, by many accounts, nothing short of extraordinary.

Renowned for their impeccable flavour and generous portions, Nico’s has earned a devoted following and frequently draws a queue that winds well beyond its modest storefront. Indeed, numerous patrons—both local and visiting—have hailed it as offering some of the finest sandwiches in the city, a reputation that appears well deserved given the crowds it consistently attracts. Despite the logistical challenges of the location, it is clear that the culinary experience alone justifies the effort.

I had intended to take a leisurely stroll through The Rocks in Sydney this evening; however, my plans were unceremoniously thwarted by the sudden onset of rain, which began to pour down in earnest.

  1. That is a fine bit of art work in your first photo. Too bad it is surrounds by tasteless graffiti. The menu at Nico's Sandwich shop does look appealing. Too bad it is half way around the world for me. Hunting for parking is a small price to pay to really good food.

  8. I was walking down Brunswick Street when I noticed a queue. I checked later online and discovered Nicos. I have since eaten there and it's very good.

  9. Your piece captures the charm and culinary magnetism of Nico’s perfectly! The devotion to the sandwiches despite Fitzroy’s infamously tricky parking adds humor and authenticity.

    The vivid descriptions and personal touch make me want to taste one myself.

    Nicely done!

  11. I immediately had memories of a place in San Francisco, back in the early 60's. Lefty's had magnificent he-man sandwiches. My favorite was roast beef on San Francisco sourdough, I can still conjure up the taste of it from more than 60 years ago. I went to radio broadcasting school about a block away, and many of us would gather at Lefty's after evening classes. Good memories, and I thank you for them.

  14. Savor the sandwiches and forget the hassle of stalking for a free parking spot — it's totally worth it! ☺

  15. En especial a ciertas horas creo que el buscar un lugar donde aparcar durante un tiempo largo solo para comer un bocadillo, por cultura gastronĂłmica no lo harĂ­a.

    Saludos.

  17. I used to think sandwiches were a bit dismal for lunch. But once I retired from the workforce, and from work lunches, good sandwiches and great coffee sound great.
    What does Nico do best? I don't eat meat, but I do eat eggs and smoked salmon.
