"A hip Italian sandwich shop that first opened on Orchard Street, it’s expanding to the Upper East Side with a new location in the works at 300 E. 88th Street, between First and Second avenues. Named after owner Roman Grandinetti’s mother, Regina, the shop gained a downtown following when it opened in 2017; Grandinetti later added a second local location and debuted his first Brooklyn outpost this year, and he’s eyeing an October launch for the new site." - Emma Orlow
