Taste Tickler, Portland

In the basement of a converted Old Portland-style home, this sub shop makes some of the best hoagies in the city. Interesting ideas like a chicken teriyaki sub are manifested behind the counter, and you will not be disappointed if you give one of these creations a try. Submarine sandwiches come in four lengths: half, 14-inch, the two-footer and the six-footer. Ice cream is also dished up here, and it is the perfect way to complete your lunch. Seating is scarce, so order a sandwich to go and head up to Irving Park for a shady midday retreat.
