Podcast breakdown:

14:57 – Joe’s of Avenue U: Panelle sandwiches (THE BESSSSST)
17:12 – Brennan & Carr: Roast beef sandwiches
20:30 – L&B Spumoni Gardens: Red pie & spumoni gelato
22:42 – Cuccio’s: Lobster tail pastries
We talk Italian food pronunciations, childhood cold cures (apparently Brennan & Carr’s beef broth works wonders), which NYC hospital will probably kill you, & the secret to a good carwash among other things. Also, let it be noted in the log: it took Chaps 5 7/11 brand Imodiums to get through this journey.
