I miss Pizza Town 78th and Broadway on the corner I frequented that spot. Still have the menu. Where did they disappear to?
My favorite sandwich!
I love that in a town where you can eat anything and everything at any hour of the day, the place Gary yearns for most is Blimpie’s!
So simple and so good. Love this one, Gary.
I miss Blimpie’s too! As a kid, used to go to the one on 86th and Broadway, as a special treat. Over the years have tried to re-create their Italian-style hero, to no avail!
I never went to Blimpie’s but I totally get missing an old favorite.
Blimpie is gone and Subway survives. There is no justice!
Me too, Gary. I loved Blimbie.
