Dining out: Little Dave's Deli

But the real sweet treats of the meal were those fabulous sodas. We had Quench, and sweet and tart Nesbitt's peach, and dark and fruity Nu Grape, all of which have been made since the first half of the 1900s.

We had dark, wonderful Moxie Cherry Cola, first made in 1884, and (my favorite) even darker Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer, which has a nearly indescribable taste, like spicy, not-too-sweet root beer on steroids.

Sandwiches and hot dogs $1.99-$11.49, ribs $5.99, soup $2.49-$3.49, salad $3.49-$5.99, sides and dessert 99 cents-$1.99, vintage sodas $2.89.
