Cheap Sushi

If you crave sushi as often as I do, and you don’t want to spend too much money - this place is a good option for a quick sushi fix. Chikurin is a Japanese restaurant chain known for their 50% off sushi made by my Chinese homies. Of the 9 restaurants located here in New York, the 86th Street, Brooklyn location is my favorite. Their classic rolls are only $3.00, all sushi or sashimi pieces are $1.00, and they have 4 pages of special rolls to choose from their menu. The fish is decent and fresh every time I come, especially anything with salmon, and they have a good selection of cooked food as well.

The atmosphere here is a little noisy during dinner time, but for the price you pay, this place hits the spot. Good for my belly, great for my pocket! =]

Brooklyn's Best Sandwich

Court Street Grocers

This cute hipster place deserves to be on "Adam Richman’s America’s Best Sandwiches". My friend Richie raved about how superb their sandwiches are, so my boyfriend and I entrusted his taste buds and immediately flocked to this place. Court Street Grocers have an amazing selection of fresh sandwiches, cooked and baked goods, and unique grocery items. It is definitely a good place to stop by for lunch after a weekend stroll in Carroll Gardens. :)
 

Zapp's! And I LOVE blueberry sodas!

The Turkey Club

Most of the turkey clubs I’ve had in the past are usually dry and sort of bland. But the Court Street Grocers’ rendition piles high with succulent white and dark meat turkey, on a triple decker buttered toast, with delicious bacon, slices of fresh tomatoes and crisp iceberg lettuce. However, the second time I went back, the turkey was a tad bit too salty… but the minor inconsistency does not stop me from believing that this is probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had.

The Delight

If you’re in a beefy mood then you have to try The Delight. Holy moly! The Delight was just deeeeelightful. On toasted Orwasher’s pumpernickel bread, with heaping layers of juicy tender house corned short rib, melted muenster cheese, and a creamy homemade coleslaw with a thousand island dressing. Yum!

Court Street Grocers’ sandwiches reflect a combination of simplicity and creativity in making the perfect sandwich by contrasting texture and flavors. This neighborhood gem has successfully built a solid foundation for its delicious sandwiches that not many sandwich makers can achieve. Sandwich lovers need to come here, pronto. Thanks Richie! :)
