New Deli 'Opening Soon' in East Arlington

In November, we asked you: What should go in the old Audio Video Plus space in East Arlington?

Back then, Amie Capodanno wrote that she’d like to see a “really good sandwich shop” go in there, and it now appears that she may be getting her wish.

Signs for “Anthony’s East Side Deli” recently appeared in the storefront’s windows, and the signs say the deli is “opening soon.”

The space at 159 Mass. Ave. is at the corner of Mass. Ave. and Marathon Street. That block has seen a lot of action lately, as Something Sweet Without Wheat, a new gluten/wheat free bakery, is opening at 169 Mass. Ave. on Tuesday, and the new Barismo opened at 171 Mass. Ave. on Dec. 20.

The Board of Selectmen’s office closes at noon on Fridays, but we’ll have an update for you on the deli early next week.
