Description

Vince Valenza has harmoniously blended his two greatest loves -- the restaurant biz and the blues -- in this cute, corner-storefront deli, where the walls are riddled with concert posters, album covers and photos (look for the shot of Valenza from his club-gigging days with music buddy Pennsylvania Slim). Aside from a "soup of the day" and a couple of salads, we're talking all sandwiches, all the time. But there's no reason to sing the blues about the Italian salsiccia po'-boy or what just might be the biggest and best muffaletta this side of the Big Easy. On Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons, some of the city's best musicians take to the tiny stage at Blues City and transform the south-city haunt into a jumpin' blues venue. It's a great place to grab a quick bite, kick back with a cold beer and soak up some quality local music.

The signature is the muffuletta, a fat stack of ham, salami and mortadella with provolone and mozzarella cheese,... More »

  • 2010 | Best Place to Start Your Weekend

    If you're so fancy that you swear by starting the weekend with some oontz-oontz at nine on a Saturday night, do yourself a favor and stop reading. Only hoosiers with bona fides will want the scoop on the city's best midday Saturday street party. Every week at 11:30 a.m. at the corner of McNair Avenue and Victor Street in Benton Park, Blues City Deli owner Vince Valenza and his sons commence serving up Abita beer and greasy hoagies -- be they pulled pork, sloppy roast beef or...

  • 2007 | Best Roast Beef Sandwich

    Located in still-flowering Benton Park, Blues City Deli acts as a kind of gustatory crossroads for the varying strains of sandwich styles. New Orleans-style po' boys sidle up to Memphis BBQ plates, and the Italian sandwiches rival anything found on the Hill. All these are superb, but the standout is the Veno, which sets a new standard for excellence even in this red meat-loving town. First of all, there is none of that cold-cut, deli-style roast beef here -- the roast beef is cooked and... More »
