"Ready to explore a new sandwich shop? Handsome Dan’s is the bodega sandwich-loving Austinites need, and it opened in February on the Eastside. The cafeteria- and drug store counter-style seating are certainly retro. The place comes to Austin courtesy of Josh Hare of Hops and Grain and is designed to be just like “your high school football coach,” he told Community Impact, a stand-up spot that delivers. There are grab-and-go sammies as well as those made to stay for the dining room or the patio. There will also be beers, some brewed on-site, and a selection of Rick’s Near Beer." - Brittany Britto Garley, Nadia Chaudhury
