Cappone’s Italian Sandwich Shop at 1 New York Plaza brings a decades-old Italian hero operation to FiDi, focusing on sesame-semolina rolls stacked with cured meats, chicken cutlets, and hot parms. It’s the move when you want a classic New York Italian hero built with deli-counter precision rather than a generic office sandwich.
Must-Try Dishes: Cappone Hero (capicola, soppressata, salami, provolone, mozzarella, hot peppers), Filomena hero with roasted chicken and sun-dried tomatoes, Meatball parm hero
