"Speaking of the Italian Market—if you’re here and have a hankering for hoagies (and assorted small plates), Paesano’s is the place to be. They’re known for their loaded sandwiches, like the spicy chicken breast, salami, roasted tomato, sauteed broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, and herby cheddar spread-stuffed Diavolo, but they also happen to do old-school Italian food better than most in the neighborhood. Eat your crispy arancini, lasagna bolognese, and Daddy Wad (their version of an Italian hoagie) while taking in the action on 9th Street." - candis mclean, alison kessler
