The thick pizzas, oozy egg sandwiches, and Italian-American hoagies make G one of our first stops when we’re paying the price for the night before. It’s more than just our favorite sandwich shop, though. Chef Elliot Drew’s shortlist of pastas and zingy salads is made for casual dinners with friends. On Sundays, 40 bucks gets you a low-key family-style dinner, as heavy on the garlic bread and red sauce as you’d hope. Inexpensive to moderate.
Also great: Goat sandwich; meatball sub; lamb gyro; spaghetti with cherry tomatoes.
