Jessie and I had to run to Dogtown for an errand over lunch one weekday, and we wanted to stop and grab something to eat nearby. We weren't feeling Seamus McDaniels and wanted to try something new. Luckily we discovered Nora's, which is on Tamm avenue right across from Seamus on the other side of Clayton Rd. It's a small intimate sandwich shop with about 10 booths/tables in one single room and a large chalkboard menu on the side wall. It is super laid back and surprisingly pretty popular for lunchtime and dinnertime.
What really impressed us was their weekday lunch special: any half sandwich, either soup or small house salad, side of chips and a fountain drink, all for $7.29. When Jessie and I stopped by last week, the soup of the day was a crawfish chowder, which was awesome! I ate the entire cup of soup before I even touched my sandwich and now I am really excited for crawfish season this Mardi Gras holiday!

Nora's sandwich selection is also impressive, and somewhat refreshing. Jessie ordered their "For Pete's Sake" sandwich, which they are best known for. It consists of apple smoked pork loin, caramelized onions, melted brie, bacon and apple sauce. It was really good and the melted brie was really fun and flavorful. I ordered a sandwich called "The Hangover Club" which has smoked turkey, genoa salami, provolone, bacon and country mustard. It was really good and I would definitely get it again. Both sandwiches came on wheat bread which was perfectly toasted, but still light and fluffy. Overall, really enjoyable!
P.S. Jessie loved Nora's so much she took Joe there for dinner the next night (Soup of the Day: Beef Stroganoff Soup) and took her boss there for lunch the next week. Now that's dedication! :-)
