    Ham Capicola and Provolone Hero and Mortadella and Provolone on a roll

    You can't go wrong with John's deli. I was back in Brooklyn for 24 hours (I live 2200mi away!) and this was a MANDATORY stop. That should tell you something. It's that good!

    Can you find the meat?  It's not as easy as you'd think.

    Disappointing - in a neighborhood full of great sandwich shops, it's almost an incentive not to try a new place. You can walk 10 minutes to a couple of long time, established places that have a laundry list of 5 star reviews and sandwiches that would give you back pain trying to carry back to your house. With that said, I decided to try John's rather than hit up my typical go-to's, to see if they were worth adding to the rotation. We got a few sandwiches, and while none of them were terrible, none were anything we'd order again. The Godfather was an offer that anyone should refuse - there were literally 4 pieces of cold cuts in the sandwich, on a very average piece of supermarket Italian bread. The other heroes were hot sandwiches - which, were also skimpy but not as egregious as the pictured Godfather. They were also bland They're a local business so I hope they pick up their game, but this visit was a bust. This neighborhood has a lot of competition in this space, sandwiches like this just aren't going to get it done.

    Went after Petco. So famous here, but don't think the sandwich has much flavor. Will give a try again.

    Had to try the roast beef sandwich and disco fries and gotta say I actually wasn't a fan of the gravy that everyone raves about.

    Working in a new neighborhood is always a challenge. It's like you're the new kid in school, you…read moreneed to find out the lay of the land. Well, I went to my first bagel spot in Ft Hamilton. I pulled up and I see "Mr" Bagels cafe. For Brooklyn, it sounds like pure class. I'm sure the owner must have a pinky ring. Walking inside, the bagel counter are front and center. To the left, is a coffee bar with multiple coffee choices. Nice looking spot. I ask for a Sesame Bagel with Cream Cheese. Would you like that toasted sir? Wait a second Years ago, I asked for my bagel toasted at Murrays Bagels in Chelsea. The guy behind the counter? He lost his mind! The next day, they put up a hand written sign: No Toasted Bagels So I'm always lerry when asking for extras. Except the bagel guy asked me so I feel relaxed. I pour myself a cup of delicious French Roast Coffee and my bagel is ready. The bagel is perfect. It has a nice chew, just a little too big but thats my personal taste. The cream cheese, even though it's plain, is very silky. Mr Bagels, thank you. Until we meet again.

That was such a perfect idea. First thing we were there, and it was a warm and sultry morning at 6:30AM with the sun up to greet us along with a New York bridge adorning the scene to the south, with us eating outside on the sidewalk I could not imagine a better send off from this great world city. Bagels were a perfect breakfast and we sucked those back in a jiffy. Just as we were finishing, members of the US military, maybe national guardsmen, showed up in black SUVs right in front of us and parked. They got out, a gaggle of them and headed in for their bagels. Well that's something to remember and not an every day sight for us being from Canada, and added to the local flavour of this epic road trip.

    You can see where we sat on stools at the little table along the window with the New York bridge in the background.

    CASH ONLY. This is a order to go spot…read more Quality ingredients, very basic sandwiches (this is a good thing, trust me) made fresh to go. I went with the #4 (Menny Special) and #7 (Che Si Dici). Both are very different, both are great. If you want something savory and warm- go with the #4. If you want something that's more 'Italian' and cold cut oriented with a hint of sweetness, go with the #7. Charlie's doesn't really overcomplicate their recipes. The menu is a bit long (given the different combinations), but that's because their experiments are tried and true. The bread is excellent, not sure if made in-house but they're light, toasted, holds the sandwich 'innards' well (though some tectonic sliding iykwim) but still makes for a perfect big bite. Now these are not MASSIVE heroes like Lioni's (this is a good thing), but do consider these sandwiches more of an indulgence/treat. Well worth the trip/price.

    Man that sandwich was bangin'!…read more New job and I'm getting the lay of the land with some go to lunch spots. Charlie's Sandwich Shop came up on Yelp, I set the Nav to fresh Mutz! I walk into a small shop, the large menu is front and center. I read on line what I wanted, the #6 - The How You Doin You're not finding this sandwich name in LA! This spot is pure Brooklyn, with some great sounding sandwiches. Trust me, I looked over the menu and wanted to try everything on the menu. The #6 was a fantastic choice, Fresh Brooklyn Italian bread with a perfectly Fried Chicken Cutlet and topped with Roasted Peppers, Fresh Mozzarella and completed with an Oil Balsamic drizzle. Cash only spot, that's ok. Take my money! I'm coming back for the Thursday Special, the Homemade Roast Beef and Melted Fresh Mozzarella sandwich. (How awesome does that sound?!)
