"On a side street in the extended Jersey neighborhood sometimes called Havana on the Hudson, an old-fashioned lunch counter with a swirling stool specializes in a single marvel: the pan con bistec, a long, luscious sliced-steak sandwich piled with onions and french fries and pressed in the sandwich press (cheese is optional). The effect is cheap and magnificent; one sandwich will generally feed two and serves as Little Havana’s answer to Tampa’s Cuban sandwich. Wash it down with fresh-squeezed juices." - Robert Sietsema
