Meatball Sandwich Review: Milano’s
Forgive me, Father, it’s been five years since my last meatball sandwich review. I have no ready excuse, though I do know that since my go-to chicken parm provider closed a couple of summers ago, I have been on an unofficial quest to find a replacement. But I never stopped loving you, meatball sandwich. And […]
Thank You, Delfino’s
On social media, my Amazon author page, dating sites, etc., I always mention my interest in sandwiches. I like ’em. And when you find a good sandwich, by god you stick with it. For the past 21 years, that’s meant a chicken parm from Delfino’s in Hoboken. Friday, July 2, was their last day in […]
Little Lies
I was walking down Grand Street, like I do most Saturdays. It was cold and I didn’t really want to be outside, but I’m a creature of habit and was heading to my regular Saturday lunch spot. On the way I pass some sort of senior center/community building and today I saw a little crowd […]
Idea for an App
A public service/dating sort of thing. When someone nearby (note to self: add GPS capability) snidely says “Eat a sandwich” behind the back of a very thin woman, I could then show up and go get a sandwich with that woman.
Sandy, One Year Later
It’s feeling a little weird here in Hoboken as the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy approaches. Memories have certainly come—no pun intended—flooding back. Stories of heroism, community spirit, successful returns, permanent losses, and continuing challenges are all freshly in mind, if they weren’t there already. I’ve had the privilege of writing three articles for AOL […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Sanpanino
I know the intersection of Christopher and Hudson Streets very, very well. From 1994 through 2011, it was an important part of my daily commute: Get off the train at Christopher, cross Hudson, and be on my merry way—and the reverse in the evening. Still, I’ve never really “hung out” a lot over there. Sure, […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Spring Street Natural
Truth is, I don’t go to a lot of places with “Natural” in their names. There’s a Korean grocery in Hoboken, Natural + Plus, that I used to frequent quite a bit—my old roommate and I called it “The Natch.” And I’ve consistently gone to Soho’s Spring Street Natural a few times a year since […]
Sandwich Maker Gets Grilled
In a textbook example of backfiring advertising, a Quizno’s commercial inspired me to eat at Subway. Quizno’s was copying Subway’s $5 sandwich promotion, but Subway is closer to me. With Hoboken being such a quality sandwich town, I only find myself in the Washington Street Subway location a few times a year. But it’s always […]
The Last Sandwich
“I’ve got bad news for you,” said the guy behind the counter. “We’re out of sun-dried tomatoes.” And after a quick pause: “Wait, never mind, you don’t get sun-dried tomatoes. Of course I get it wrong on the last time.” The last time? His sentence didn’t make sense to me, but I didn’t give it […]
