I was hungry after volunteering for several hours during the COVID pandemic and this little hero shop caught my eye. For $7.99, you could purchase a nice-sized sub with a menu that offers two dozen various Boar's Head meats and cheeses. Thrown into the deal was a can of soda and bag of chips. I thought that this was a great deal. The guy who ran the business was very friendly and showed me a selection of many wet toppings that could be added to my sandwich including pickles, jalapenos, tomato slices, lettuce, and several other options. The worker didn't just do his job, he actually made recommendations on what he offered. You could tell that he loved working there. I'm assuming that he's either the owner or a very dedicated employee. The hero bread was soft and tasted fresh. And of course the meat on my hero was Boar's Head, so we already know the quality there. What made this place stand out was a large selection of candy packages that appeared to be Japanese imports. These candies, along with a display showing an assortment of anime toys on a nearby shelf, added color and playfulness to the store's ambiance.

I usually visit Park Slope to eat at restaurants, but this place will now be on my radar when I'm in the mood for a sub made at a mom and pop place instead of from a...
Read moreWanted to try this place. Worked a 12 hour shift the day before and was really craving an amazing Italian sub to eat while i watched tv and absolutely rotted on my couch to recover. This was the only place that i could find that had banana peppers which is crucial for an italian sub. If you don’t do banana peppers im sorry but you’re doing it wrong. As soon as i walked in, the vibes were excellent. Price point was great especially for what you get, subs are huge and it comes with chips and i got a black cherry soda. I love that they have these cards you fill out, it honestly makes it so much easier especially when you get a lot of toppings like i do. It was absolutely delicious. I’m not even supposed to eat gluten and dairy but when i need to have a cheat day this place is on my list. So good. Will be coming back. And the people working...
Read moredo you ever wonder why there aren’t too many photos for some shops? Consider the fact that sometimes, our hungry faces just wanna be stuffed. I went in wanting a spam egg sandwich - apparently Spam is not easy to procure these days - prohibitively expensive I was told, even eggs apparently, prices just fluctuate all the time. That’s when he was kind enough to give me an alternative: pastrami on eggs, something I had never done before, and was a little reluctant to do so, myself. At any rate I said yes, with mayo and deli mustard. it was served on ciabatta. when I tell you that sandwich is it one of the best things to happen to me all year – I am not lying. Go see for yourself - you will not be...
