"NEW YORK CITY Defonte’s is the old-school NYC Italian sandwich shop blueprint. They serve big fat sandwiches with names like Italian Stallion and The Zio Vito, there's someone who drove in from Jersey standing in line next to you, and the person behind the counter might be a little peeved that you’re trying to order at 3:15pm, even though they close at 4pm. A visit to this cash-only spot is the best Saturday adventure, and if it’s nice out you can head down to Louis Valentino Jr. pier and eat there. " - team infatuation, carlo mantuano
