Humboldt Haus Sandwich Bar

"While Fontano’s requires a little mouth dexterity, the italian from Humboldt Haus is much more manageable. Its relatively flat bread has a nice crackly crust with a soft (but not chewy) interior, making it very pleasant—and easy—to eat. Most importantly, the bread-to-filling ratio is perfect and the distinct layers of the salami-pastrami-capicola trifecta amp up the peppery flavor profile. This is a great sandwich anytime the dry-cured meat mood hits, but it’s especially ideal for a picnic in Humboldt Park across the street. " - adrian kane, nick allen, john ringor, veda kilaru

"Head here for some of the most satisfying deli sandwiches in the city, made on fresh bread with hearty portions of meat and cheese and finished with extras like creamy garlic mayo and Haus dressing. It’s directly across from the park, and it’s the absolute best stop for all your picnicking needs. The fact that it’s connected to a liquor store means it has a better beer selection than your favorite sports bar, so dining in at Humboldt Haus is a great option, too." - josh barnett, john ringor

"Parks and sandwiches go together like the 4th of July and firework warnings. That's to say a simple and quality sandwich is one of the most satisfying things you can eat after going on a walk outside. Head to Humboldt Haus for a classic Italian or roast beef sandwich to put a cap on your already excellent day. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"It’s hard to convince your friends to go out to eat with you if you keep weird hours as a gravedigger/masked vigilante. But you don’t need those people anyway, because Humboldt Haus is open until midnight, and has excellent sandwiches like the West Sider (turkey, pastrami, swiss cheese, and garlic mayo). It’s mostly bar seating, and since the dining room is connected to a liquor store, you can buy a six-pack to split with your new friends—the people hanging around the cemetery after hours." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, josh barnett
