Some of my friends tell me my hatred of Subway sandwich shop borders on the obsessive and unhealthy. I counter this claim by saying it is no more unhealthy than eating a subway sandwich.
My hatred of Subway is threefold.
- Their stores smell horrible. I can’t walk by one without gagging on that weird air they pump out of their “restaurants”.
- The bogus health claims. Not only…
I share your hatred of fast food, but I also think you’re delusional if you truly think New yorkers can “get a cheap, delicious sandwich on almost every corner.” Really? Where? I’d love to see this huge list. On almost every corner is a corner deli selling Bore’s Head brand cold cuts. Is that your definition of healthy? I’m listening.
I don’t think it was the good taste of the people of North Williamsburg that forced their doors to close, after all there’s a dunkin right across the street that manages to stay open. That particular Subway was just absolutely terrible. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were stripped of their franchise and opened this new place instead, which will end up being equally as terrible. It was filthy and shares a space with a shady burger shop. I went in there once and they did not have cold cuts (!?) and they only had a few loaves of stale white bread. Oh yeah, and their credit card machine was “broken.” Another time they informed me that they did not participate in the $5 footlong deal.
Also I’m going to have to agree with Susan T, last time I went to a “corner deli” for a sandwich it definitely wasn’t cheap and honestly, it wasn’t very delicious either. Subway is generally a decent deal, this one was just really bad.
