"Carmenta’s is a pretty small space in Bushwick that does technically sell some pasta dishes and things like meatballs and arancini, but you come for the sandwiches. While your first might be to order something classic like their chicken parm or Italian combo, you should know that Carmenta’s has some of the best fried eggplant in New York City—so focus your attention towards that section of the menu. The Order: The Dom G with fried eggplant, ricotta, roasted peppers, red onion, mint and tomato vinaigrette. Eat it fast, before the eggplant has a chance to absorb any liquid." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
