"Take care and brush your hair before heading to Casa Cugine, an Italian cafe and sandwich shop in Williamsburg. It comes from Italian American content creator Meals By Cug, and they’ll have pastries, espresso, gelato, a large imported grocery section, and some merch for sale. Sandwiches will come later on after they open, and be classic Italian American, like the Ya Sista with roast beef and caramelized onions, and the How Ya’ Doin’ with chicken cutlets and broccoli rabe." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim

"An Italian sandwich shop from influencer Danny Mondello — aka Meals by Cug — is opening on a once-Italian stretch of Williamsburg at 427 Graham Avenue, near Frost Street, expected in May. The new shop will sit near longtime neighborhood businesses like Anthony and Sons and Emily’s Pork Store." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Opening soon in Brooklyn under the BQE, this new sandwich shop is the brick-and-mortar project of social-media personality Danny Mondello (known as Cugine). He’s finalizing a short menu that includes the Hey Toots (turkey and spicy soppressata); the How Ya’ Doin,’ a.k.a. the Madone (chicken cutlet and broccoli rabe); and Ya Sista, a combo of thin-sliced roast beef, caramelized onions, horseradish spread and a complementary cup of juice. Sandwiches and gelato will be the main draws, he plans to revive a labor-intensive iced-coffee slush from the location’s past, and he even hopes to serve Diet Coke on draft as a signature touch. More than a celebrity pop-up, he intends the place to feel like an old Italian social club — rooted in local Italian-American restaurant and deli traditions and connected to the neighborhood businesses that surround it." - Jason Diamond
