Leete Tire & Auto

I used to work on First and Cary Streets, and during that period of my life I probably got about a flat tire per week.  Seriously.  I don’t know if it was because of where I lived (Church Hill around a LOT of construction) or if someone was playing a big prank on me, but I had a nail in one of my tires every time I turned around.  Luckily for me, there was a place I could get my tires repaired (or, in some cases, buy new tires) literally right around the corner.  Even luckier is that the place was run by some stand-up, ethical, and awesome guys who never overcharged me and always took awesome care of my car.

Those guys are Todd and Jim, and when anybody asks me where they should take their car for, oh, ANYTHING, I send them to Todd and Jim at Leete Tire & Auto.  These guys have saved me literally thousands of dollars over the years on tires and repairs.  The web reviews of Leete are mostly good – you’ll see a few people who claim that they were overcharged, but that’s because they were looking at auto parts online, and those are always cheaper.  But then you’ve got to pay to get them shipped to you, and you have to find someone to do the repairs.  Jim and Todd make it so they get the part as inexpensively as possible, and charge the least amount of labor possible to make your repair affordable.  I know, because they’ve done it for me lots and lots of times.

New York Deli

Ah.  New York Deli.  Years ago it was a great breakfast spot with battered linoleum floors, harsh florescent lighting, and less-than-updated bathroom fixtures.  Now it is a center of nightlife activity, full of the bright and the beautiful…and the often slightly or more-than-slightly inebriated.

But that’s not New York Deli’s fault.  They certainly offer a wide range of libation, as well as some very tempting drink specials, but how much you imbibe is completely up to you.  That, combined with the fact that there is plenty of delicious food to balance things out, you can probably hang out there without putting yourself in too much danger.

Food-wise, New York Deli has stayed true to its roots with the Liptauer appetizer.  It’s a super-secret cheese spread that is served with rye toast points and it’s GOOD.  Stat with that or the Spinach Artichoke dip.  You won’t be sorry.  Have a sandwich if you’re extra hungry, and make sure to get the beer-battered fries with that.  Make sure.

There is so much I haven’t had there that I feel sure you’ll here about this place again, especially if I can drag my old self out to party one night – they have a DJ every night that plays through last call.  People have a really great time.  You should check it out.

As a side note, the place is decorated up in a really neat way.  If you sit at the bar there are all sorts of fun things to look at, like antique cash registers, dirigible models, and more.
