You can all begin at the crazy popular Firehouse Deli where all the locals go for the largest, most fully stuffed wedges around. With names like “The John Gotti,” “Lethal Weapon,” “Boatyard,” these 14 inch sandwiches are big enough for 2 and cost $9. If you click onto their website coupon link, it might even cost you less. This was the #1 recommendation by other shop owners on the street, and they have quite the following.

Next, drop the girls (or, OK, the boys) at Mint, a consignment shop where everything is in mint condition. Get it? True Religion jeans, Seven’s – all name brand jeans are $45 and $55 here. A brand new black Coach bag with tags still attached is $90 (retails for $198). As I type, there’s a pink Northface Denali jacket – $40 and Ugh slippers for $35. There’s enough here to keep middle-school girls and their Moms happy for awhile and it’s a great place to pick up a prom or Bat-Mitzvah dress.

Guys (or girls who’d rather be fishin’), head over to Fin and Feather Pet Emporium – 240 Mill St. – which is so refreshingly old fashioned, they don’t have a website. What they do have is 20 years of serving the neighborhood with fish-tanks, fish, fishing gear, bait (the Fin) and all kinds of exotic birds (Feathers). Father and son, Fred and Fred, Jr. Stahl had a chance to move the whole operation to Greenwich Ave. but refused. They like the fact that there’s lots of parking out back and a stone’s throw from the water. Grab some bait (starts at $1) and head to the Byram River or out to the Sound.   “It’s a perfect location for us,” said the elder Fred. And a nice business, too. “Fishermen are always happy,” he laughed.
