South Brooklyn, Brooklyn · shop
A standing-room-only sandwich counter where the sandwiches are stacked with the confidence Napoleon. The Nicky Special piles ham, provolone, salami, capicola, fried eggplant, hot salad, and mushrooms into one formidable package, while the hot roast beef—dipped in gravy—has a following all its own. Cash only, and order the small unless you’re prepared to eat leftovers all week long.
