Dominic's of New York

When the Felicos first immigrated to New York City from Italy, they had no way of knowing theirs would one day become one of the most recognized names in the sandwich industry. The first in the line, Papa Felico, started the business with a wooden cart from which he sold Italian candies and roasted peanuts. His son Dominic continued the family tradition by eventually taking to the streets of New York selling Italian sausages from a cart. But it was the current generation of Felicos that turned the business toward Italian sandwiches. Also originally sold from a cart, those sandwiches became so popular, the business was forced to expand in order to meet demand. Now Dominic's has locations scattered across not only New York, but also Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. That's all thanks to a simple menu of well-crafted sandwiches with steak, chicken, pastrami, sausage, or other Italian stuffings.
