"Mandola’s Deli in the East End serves enough red sauce everyday to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, probably. Roll up to Mandola’s for exactly what you would expect: chicken parm sandwiches, hoagies, and spaghetti with meatballs. The old school counter-service neighborhood deli operates in some kind of pre-millenium time loop. The staff seems to know everyone eating here, there’s more University of Houston memorabilia than conceivably exists, and the amount of family photos on display rivals your grandma’s hallway. Make sure to get some cannolis to go." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
