The Best Sandwiches in NYC, According to Eater Editors

"Since 1922, this portside Italian sandwich shop has served heaping portions of cured pork on rolls to workers and passersby in Red Hook. The signature sub is the colossal Nicky Special, layered with a trio of ham, salami, and capocollo, plus fried slices of eggplant, provolone, and hot peppers mixed with oregano and pickled vegetables. Everyone has their favorite sandwich here, so the “best” order is divisive." - Emma Orlow, Robert Sietsema
