UPTOWN FOOD & DELI
(906) 224-7421
Suzette Fetters has imaginatively transformed her husband's former storefront grocery in downtown Wakefield into this smoke-free establishment. A few shelves have groceries for sale, artfully arranged with an eye for classic packaging. Gifts in front include attractive, locally knit scarves and hats. The six tables are quite a popular gathering spot for young and old: work crews, teens, women at lunch. The food is standard deli fare: subs served with complimentary chips and salsa, soups, taco salad ($4.25), chef salad ($3.50), hot dogs, and wraps. Changing daily desserts like rice pudding and chocolate cream pie are made by Suzette's mom, Carolyn Paquette, who also paints the landscapes displayed here.
