Profile

Whatever you do, don’t ask for a panino. The substantial specimens at this old-school sandwich shop are known as heros, and they’re served longshoreman style, in outsize, time-tested combos like potato-and-egg, meatball, and roast-beef-mozzarella-and-fried-eggplant.

I can remember when I was growing up in my mom, sister and I would walk to Nicks (what we used to call it then) and get a potato and egg sandwiches for lunch, or a ham and cheese sandwich. Their sandwiches are to die for. I make it at home but does not taste anything like theirs.
