The Not-So-Secret Hero Haven

I live really close to TJs. I mean, walking distance to TJs. So when I first moved out here I thought I was in hero heaven. At first I thought they were a bit pricey -- well, I still do -- but their bread is just so soft and delicious, and they always put just enough ham, and just enough cheese, and just enough mayo to make a great hero.

They were never into sliced bread, or -- gasp -- that healthy elitist "wheat bread" that the city folk like to eat with their Diet Coke and carrot sticks. No. TJs has always been about the hoagies. The quintessential Italian bread with your meat and cheese. Lettuce, mayo, and tomatoes (tomatos?). They have some awesome hot sandwiches too, just to spice things up a bit. And you get a huge iced tea with your sandwich which I swear has crack in it. Or something resembling that.

But I've found a new place. A place not unlike TJs with it's down-to-earthiness; but there is a difference with this place. I can't quite place my finger on it, but all I can say is that the Haven 1 at Hero Haven is to die for. And best of all, they are reasonably priced.

Go check out Hero Haven on Neighborhood Rd. You won't regret it.
