Subway’s sandwiches are the answer to a lighter appetite. Fred DeLuca created this healthy chain that offers an alternative to fast-food. The freshness of the vegetables, meats, cheeses and aromas from freshly baked bread make every mouthful a unique experience. Subs make the everyday grind more manageable.

Swiss Chalet. This is not all about the chicken. You’ll love the creative dipping sauce for the rotisserie. It’s the rotisserie chicken with that clever dipping sauce. Although many have tried to solve the riddle, it is still as elusive and elusive as Bigfoot.

Moxie’s Grill is the place to be for gourmets. Since its founding in 1986 the eclectic menus and lively ambiance have been a hit with urbanites. Moxie’s offers a variety of dining options, including a casual Friday lunch and an outing with friends.
