If it doesn't have street-level retail, it's an abortion.

The meatball sandwich at Tarantino's is pretty tasty too.
Agree with the previous mention of the Autostrada at Happy Gillis. They also just rolled out a cuban sandwich that I am eager to try.

I believe the Mario's daughter owns twenty 20 and the meatball is the same recipe. In fact, I don't think Mario even owns Mario's anymore. But that might not be true.

Re: Best sandwich in town?
Those places are all have the additional benefit of actually being open through most of a day too. I have lived around the corner from 20/20 for three years and have never seen the joint open other than FF's.WSPanic wrote: I think Mario's, Grinders and D'bronx meatballs are all better than 20/20.

Re: Best sandwich in town?
I'm with Mean - that sandwich isn't forgiving or humble when it doesn't have to be. It has no personality.
Did you mean to say it is a sandwich of great magnitude?

I thought you just mistyped magnificent or something. I didn't mean to turn it into a cockfight.

Re: Best sandwich in town?
best sandwich in town is definitely NOT the "irv's favorite" from d'bronx. corned beef, salami, spicy mustard, horseradish, swiss, etc. on rye. the bread was dry as hell and there was about 1/3 as much meat/cheese as there should have been. i ate it open-face style sans one piece of bread, which made it better, but still a huge disappointment.
i also got a chocolate chip cookie and it sucked. it tasted like a pepperidge farm cookie or something instead of d'bronx's usual awesome fresh-baked cookies.
