Those familiar with my views on the sandwich situation in the city (which I began to touch upon when discussing Alidoro a few months back), already know that I seem to struggle to find quality sub sandwiches in Manhattan.
Since then I have had better luck in the sandwich department, be it with Alidoro's crazy tender rolls, and Sullivan Street Bakery's insanely perfect caprese, (more to come on that later), there is a little garage of a place, literally, in Greenwich Village known as the Crosby Connection that serves up quite a mean selectin of hot and cold sandwiches. This time around, I'd like to highlight CC's Meatball Sub.
Though these days, I don't find myself eating many meatball sandwiches, Crosby's definitely the best I've had in a while. Big, giant meatballs, loosely packed and well-seasoned, do a great job of filling out the soft, pliable roll that handles a not-too-heavy-handed helping of red gravy and chards of mozzarella. This puppy is a thing of beauty and a truly admirable exemplar of the classic Meatball Sub, which too many times shows itself as an over-nuked mess of mushy bread, cheese, and gravy that falls apart when you pick it up.
Crosby's stays together without fail, until it reaches your mouth of course.
Go out and get yourself one.
