Faicco's Pork Store makes an awesome Italian Hero. <a href="http://nycfoodguy.com/2008/05/16/west-village-sandwiches-faiccos-italian-hero-crosby-connections-crosby-special/" rel="nofollow">I review it here</a>. They just have great meats overall. They're on Bleecker b/t 6th & 7th Avenue. That's probably the best cold hero I've had in the city. In that same review is a place called Crosby Connection that also has solid sandwiches. Its funny you ask this because I'm still on the hunt for more great sandwiches myself. Where are you from originally? Karen,

It seems impossible, but there it is. I can't even find a good italian hero. Every street corner has something called a "deli" but they're not. I've checked food review sites, and went to some highly regarded places. One didn't have ham (not kidding), one didn't have salami (not kidding), and another had hard stale rolls and used, like, salad greens for lettuce. Somebody kill me. The closest I've gotten was Shorty's in the middle of the night-mare tourist district. I had thought of it as a 'B+', but by comparison it's gone up REALLY fast. That's the only luck I've had, but I've only been on this particular quest for about a week. Help. I'm begging you. I’m having an insanely hard time finding a good hoagie in NY.

I say yes, but maybe I have OCD. Top to bottom: mustard, then slaw, then pastrami, then Russian on the bottom. Mix the Russian and mustard on the same side? I don't think so. What say you all? Doc PS: in the turkey sandwich, above, the tomato should go on top. All about the gustatory experience of each bite ("Yes," you think, "the Doctor is pretentious asshole". Perhaps.

It is not really insightful or interesting. And if you are going to suggest what to get at a chain, don't compare apples to grapefruits. Like saying forget the Filet-O-Fish, get the Big Mac.
