Matt’s Veal Parm
Matt’s Veal Parm is one of our foodie city’s best secret foods, or as secret as you can be with a website and social media channels. The hyped veal pops up at his Wicker “Parm” apartment on occasional Saturdays. Sign up, buzz your way in and walk three flights to enter a friendly community oozing and smelling of veal-and-eggplant sandwich love. Place your order, grab a beer (donations accepted or BYO), sit on the couch, look at his records, books and Knicks memorabilia before Matt’s neighbors dig into simply and perfectly prepared fried cutlet sandwiches—with cheese, sauce, extra sauce if you please—exhale and smile.
