Best Bustling Beacon of BLT Beauty
Since 1952, Mac’s Delicatessen has been a mainstay for the downtown Santa Rosa business-lunch crowd. For years, Rosenberg’s department store owner Fred Rosenberg could be seen entering the place every day, a fresh rose in his lapel, ready to sit in his always-reserved booth. When Bill McNeany took over the iconic downtown department store? He, too, ate at Mac’s. Other businessmen followed. Benny Friedman, of Friedman Bros., came in so often with his wife Rosemary that they named a salad after her. Mac himself left the downtown spot after just two years, and while no one can remember his last name, his first name has stayed on the awning. Operated by Iraj Soltani since 1970, and now with son Toraj, the venerable lunch counter boasts over 45 sandwiches, an excellent waitstaff and, helping you choose it as your pick for Best Deli in Sonoma County, the appropriately named “Merchant’s Special.� May it live to see a thousand more fresh lapel roses. 630 Fourth St., Santa Rosa. 707.545.3785.—G.M.
