Marco Polo's postcards from India exalted its natural beauty and vibrant culture, but lamented Delhi's curious lack of pastrami on rye. Discover the other deli with today's Groupon: for $14, you get two special sandwiches and two beers at Saul’s Restaurant & Delicatessen in Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto (up to a $30.50 value).

Saul’s combines classic New York deli and progressive Bay Area eatery with heaping helpings of pastrami, corned beef, and chopped liver alongside a long list of sustainable suppliers—including local organic farms—that satiate Berkeley’s conscientious connoisseurs. Check out Saul’s lineup of special sandwiches to cure harrowing hunger pangs. Starving taste buds try The Little Beast sandwich, a protein-packed stack of Marin Sun roast beef and creamy mozzarella cradled in an organic roll. Opt for the vegetarian Reuben to kick corned beef to the curb with a reinvented deli staple made with sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and portobello mushroom.

Square meals with a choice of a half-dozen tasty brews on tap. Imbibing locavores can lap up mouthfuls of Berkeley’s own Trumer Pilsner or indulge in Brother David’s ale to acquire the courage necessary to ask a stranger to dance, even in the absence of music.
