California Sandwich Shop “Submarina” Coming Soon
Thanks to Lunch’er “Marissa” for letting us know about this one… Submarina, a 30+ year old San Diego based sandwich chain with a branch in Astoria, will be opening its first Manhattan location next to Pro Hot Korean (on 56th btw. 5+6th). Here’s hoping it will be better than Subway! Although their website doesn’t really give us much hope… we’ll try to reserve judgement until after they open, but it’s hard when their owners take pride in the fact that when they first opened they had “no experience, no capital and by every rule of business we should have failed. We didn’t know an avocado from prosciutto, but we were willing to learn.” Really guys? I play the “I’m just a fat guy who likes to eat” card more than anybody… but seriously? You didn’t know the difference between an avocado and proscuitto? That’s kind of silly.
According to the sign you can get a free 6″ sub by signing up for their “Best Sub Club”. Anybody tried the location in Astoria? Let us know how it is in the comments…

Wow, they freely admit they don’t know anything about business… That explains why they’re opening up RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO A SUBWAY. I mean really? They better be damn good since there are generic deli’s on the block, and oh yeah A SUBWAY RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
… Then again, I’d probably go there over Subway since I hate Subway.
