Just grazing in my hotel tonight.
I had a totally amazing Italian sub at this place called Defonte's Sandwich Shop in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn. The line of locals was out the door, so it had to be good. It was! I think perhaps the best Italian sub I've ever had.
I also found the kind of market you only see in New York, or similar old cities. If my hotel room had a kitchen, I could have cooked a gourmet meal tonight. The produce was beautiful. The meats choices were vast. They even had a big glass cooler with beef dry aging on display. Their cheese section was better than most fine cheese stores that sell nothing but cheese.
