"A day imitating a sunbathing lizard at Parkside’s green gem calls for something special—like the hot pastrami sandwich from Submarine Center. It’s a tangy, beautifully toasted showpiece overflowing with smoked meat. But don’t let it be the only thing you walk away with at this counter-service West Portal classic. The meaty Atomic is stacked with pastrami, turkey, and corned beef, and we absolutely adore the mayo-y hot sub with avocado, turkey, and melty swiss." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
