On a beautiful day, there’s no better place to have lunch than the patio of the "Duck."

Known as the "Duck" by locals, this gourmet sandwich shop, partial to premium ingredients, has been a Phoenix institution for 30 years. A popular take-out joint with the nine-to-five crowd, the Duck also sells fine wines, cheeses and fancy foods. Locals show up on weekends for a leisurely afternoon on the patio, where they skim the paper, listen to live music and sip vino. The patio tray, which features cold cuts, cheeses, crackers and fruit, is a good accompaniment. Meanwhile, those with heartier appetites should try the signature albacore tuna sandwich, chunky with water chestnuts and emulated all over town. Even the tiniest budget can get a filling bargain, too, with the daily combo special that feature a sandwich, soda and your choice of a cookie or chips.
