Sandwich Man
111 North 2^nd St
Harrisburg, PA

On a recent road trip, I learned on Yelp via my blackberry of an alleged taco truck in Harrisburg.  When we neared the address, there was no such vehicle in sight, and it was clear we were in one of the capital’s seedier neighborhoods.  After asking for directions at a pharmacy and an adult toy store, it became clear that the taco truck had gone south for the winter, and the next best thing was the Sandwich Man across town.  At this runner-up lunch destination, I ordered a tuna melt for $3.95 (which had substantial tuna, but wasn’t quite melted and had unsolicited hard-boiled egg), and a fresh soft pretzel for  $0.75.  You could also buy beers, from a $1 High Life to a $2.50 locally brewed Appalachian beer.  It was an adequate meal, but the memory of a lost taco truck on that brisk Pennsylvania afternoon will always haunt my taste buds…
