The recession may be joylessly over, but things aren’t looking too good, according to Fidelity Ventures VC Larry Cheng’s favorite economic indicator: The Grassroots Deli on Devonshire St.

Cheng says he’s been checking in on the Financial District deli’s business since everything went to hell a year ago, and the reports have gotten progressively worse.

So we can add the Grassroots Deli Index to the Price of a Slice of Pizza Index, the Cemetery Plot Index, the I-Cut-My-Own-Hair Index, and all kinds of other crazy things, like whether or not big-city waitresses are attractive, or whether or not men are wearing their drawers into oblivion.

Got any other good ones? Add them in the comments.
