The sandwich menu at Washington Street Ale House features anything but the usual suspects. The Cubano stays faithful to the Cubans you first encountered in South Florida. Seared tuna with wasabi aïoli is a great alternative to your run-of-the-mill crab cake. Crispy jalapeños and flatbread transform pulled pork. 1206 N. Washington St., Wilmington, 658-2537, wsalehouse.com

May we present The Fine Swine: hot ham and Brie on a baguette with sun-dried tomatoes or raspberry jam. That’s how they roll at Lori’s Oy-Vey Café. Vegetarians have plenty of options, like the oozy tomato-cheddar melt. 39 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, 226-3066, lorisoyveycafe.com
