\"REGINA'S

I grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. <\/strong>It was the same neighborhood my father grew up in. I went to the same school as he did. Caused trouble on the same streets. I knew my cornerstore man and the pizza shop gave me credit.<\/p>\n

NYC\u2019s streets felt like an abandoned movie set during the middle of the pandemic. <\/strong>Everything looked great but no one showed up. My hardest day was hearing that a local children\u2019s charity was really undersupplied with food. My favorite sandwich growing up was peanut butter and jelly so instead of sitting around, my family and I did what we do best: We started making sandwiches for them \u2013 and later, for the first responders, hospitals and protesters.<\/p>\n

During this time, I\u2019ve learned that I\u2019m as hard-headed as everyone has always said I was. <\/strong>If you spend a lot of time alone talking to a deli slicer, you get to know a lot more about yourself than you think!<\/p>\n

The LES community has kind of disappeared\u2026 <\/strong>because a lot of people in this six-block circle aren\u2019t from around here and have left. But diners and restaurants like Dimes, Kiki\u2019s, Cheeky\u2019s and Regina\u2019s kept things going. As a family, we have a plan and are going to continue to build by expanding our operating hours and introducing a new menu. We\u2019ll do it one sandwich at a time.<\/p>\n

If you grew up in New York, this is the old New York. <\/strong>This is how shit was. A small break is good. I needed it. NYC needed it. And COVID gave the new New York a good smack in the mouth.<\/p>\n
