Friday Flashback #111

Westport is blessed with some of the best Italian delis this side of Arthur Avenue.

Winfield Street Coffee & Deli took over the long-established Art’s on Post Road West — just over the bridge — and made it even more popular.

At the other end of town, Gaetano’s has a huge and devoted clientele. It’s particularly popular with Staples High students.

Sandwiched in between is Fortuna’s. It seldom gets the props of the others. But it’s anchored the small Green’s Farms plaza at the Post Road/South Turkey Hill corner for over 40 years.

They’ve got a winning formula — so much so, that almost nothing has changed since the Nixon administration.

Except — as the photo below shows — a few of the fashions.
