"Located on Stillwell Avenue on the way to Coney Island beaches, John’s Deli was founded in 1968, and produces all of the Brooklyn’s iconic Italian-American heroes. One of the lesser known ones is the calamari parm hero, made famous by the now defunct Catene Deli just off the Slope. And what could be better than dumping a fistful of just-fried squid rings on a baguette, melting freshly made mozzarella on top, and then sluicing the cheesy crustaceans with a sharp marinara, as it’s still done at John’s? You won’t be able to stop munching on this baby ($12.50), all too rare in the borough today." - Eater Staff
