Court St Grocers is one of the best things about living in Carroll Gardens, which is 100% something a transplant like myself would say, but in this case it’s actually true. A great spot that fits into the fabric of the neighborhood and has delicious sandwiches. Their BLT may be $16 dollars, but you are getting a one-of-a-kind messy n’ delicious creation— the kind of sandwich that you have to eat with plenty of napkins nearby, and most important, during peak tomato season (which is the only time of year they’ll even do it).
admittedly a little downtown centric (but that’s where i am!) and some of these are a little $20 lunch vibes but thats life in the big city or wtv!! lava has a vegan arabic sandwich which is literally the greatest thing i’ve ever put in my mouth. also doing a different street cart everyday for a week is a worth lunchtime activity
The focaccia here changed my life, that's all I can say. Get the tomato slice, sit in Tompkins Square Park to eat it, and watch the world go by. Top ten New York experience, I think.
tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
