Raleigh Hidden Gem:
Brooklyn Pickle is the kind of deli that feels like it’s been around forever—even though it’s a newer Raleigh addition. The sandwiches are stacked ridiculously high, the bread is always fresh, and the pickles? Perfectly crunchy and just the right amount of tangy. It’s the spot you hit when you’re craving a real-deal, no-frills sandwich that actually fills you up. Feels like a little taste of New York, minus the attitude.
