PrintYankee Stadium Loses Sandwich Subway Series
My friend Roy took me to the Yankee game last Friday night, and not only are his seats fantastic, fifteen rows back to the right of home plate, but they are fifty feet from the Arthur Avenue and Carl's Cheese Steak concessions. Roy waited twenty minutes between innings for a Carl's Cheesesteak, which turned out to be mighty disappointing. It turns out that for some things good things don't happen to those who wait. The roll was cottony and dry, and the meat was all shriveled and dried up from sitting for too long. Roy said they cook off the meat in advance and then hold it on the griddle for as long as it takes to sell it. This is no way to produce a good cheesesteak.
The Arthur Avenue sandwich, from Mike's Deli, was much better. There was no line, and the prosciutto, mozzarella and roasted peppers sandwich I had on foccacia was pretty damn fine for a ballpark sandwich. The sandwich was pre-made and sitting in a refrigerated case, so it was kind of soggy. But all in all I would certainly order the sandwich again. But the best ballpark sandwich in New York is the Mama's roast turkey, fresh mozzarella and gravy sandwich behind home plate at Shea Stadium.
For that sandwich alone the Mets win the Subway Sandwich series.
