Carmenta’s

The 23 Best Sandwich Shops in NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Carmenta’s is a pretty small space in Bushwick that does technically sell some pasta dishes and things like meatballs and arancini, but come for the sandwiches. While your first instinct might be to order something classic like their chicken parm or Italian combo, it's imperative to try Carmenta's very good fried eggplant—so focus your attention there. 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
