Good point!! It’d pretty messed up if I accidentally switched them.

They used to make a pretty good and semi-authentic Hoagie at Times Square on Fulton Ave but I haven’t been there in a couple of years. It was near Alta-Arden on Fulton

for the best hoagie you’ll have to beat the Teamsters at a drinking contest.

I seriously think that episode is what spurred this desire. Somehow the site of those sandwiches has creeped into my brain and I can’t let it go. What to do????? Drinking contests are off limits due to the aforementioned pregnancy.

Italian Importing on J and 19th, I’m thinking. Hit Pronto if you want an Italian beef.

Good to know, thanks!! In desparation I had a burrito the size of my head. I guess that’s the California version of a hoagie though so it worked out.

taylors market on freeport makes the best sandwiches…my wife is an east coaster and swears by them. congrats on the pregnancy. i hope you can close your ears to all the stories other parents tell about their “trying times” as they attempt to disguise it as advice. maybe just stay inside for 10 months.

Congrats. I hear hoagies cause triplets. Quads if you mix hoagies and Starbucks…

I am confused about the regional terms for sandwiches. What makes a hoagie different from a sub, grinder or hero??? Is it that funny Italian sauce in a shaker bottle?

There is a new Italian deli on 16th and… F Street? In that little shopping center on the East side of the street.

Unfortunately, Italian Imports on Folsom and 50th is now closed. Sad!!

Ha, Lutz. This smells like Hillbilly milk!!

I loved the 30 Rock episode about sandwiches!

My sis lives in South Jersey and they call em hoagies..not po boys or subs. What about Dads?

Sticke, you’re thinking of Sampino’s, which was recently covered by this badass food writer: http://tinyurl.com/6747xo

HeyMeg— just so you know, they warn you off cold cuts due to a very small but fairly dangerous chance of a particular bacteria. However, hot sandwiches are just fine.

As I’m not up on the specific distinctions of a hoagie versus a sub or a grinder, I’m just giving you the general heads’ up.

(I want a cold sandwich so very very much. With bacon.)

They also warned me off booze and horseback riding but that hasn’t stopped me.

Don’t forget that you can’t dye your hair for 10 months either…oh yeah, and feta cheese is supposed to be off limits too.

It’s a wonder women have children at all. Good luck and best wishes!!

RUI (riding under the influence) is a very serious problem: Every year more people are injured while RUI than in all the helicopter/car collisions in the world. When you take the reigns (sp?), it’s YOUR responsability. Friends don’t let friends ride (or kiss) horses while drunk.
