First & Ivy Market in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill has operated as a neighborhood market and deli at 2170 First Avenue since 1922, making it one of the oldest continuously running food businesses in the downtown area. The deli counter builds made-to-order sandwiches — the Cityscape, Big Philly, Runaway, and a chicken Parmesan on a toasted hoagie — alongside burgers, wings, and pizza, anchoring the same Bankers Hill dining corridor where Hob Nob Hill has served since 1944. Craft beer, microbrews, fine wines, and a full spirits wall stock the market side of the operation, turning the 100-year-old storefront into a combination deli-and-bottle-shop that serves both the lunch crowd and the evening beverage run. The same family has run the operation across its full century-plus history, with current ownership still working the made-to-order kitchen alongside the retail floor. Curbside pickup and SNAP EBT acceptance extend the market's service reach beyond the walk-in counter, matching the convenience infrastructure at larger Bankers Hill dining operations like The Corner Drafthouse on the same stretch of First Avenue. The most complex menu item is the loaded fries platter — shoestring fries layered with grilled beef, cheddar, sour cream, crispy bacon, and chives — a pub-food build that pushes the kitchen well beyond standard deli-counter output.
