Defonte’s Sandwich Shop in Red Hook, Brooklyn

Defonte’s Sandwich Shop in Red Hook, Brooklyn was founded in 1922 by Nick Defonte who emigrated to New York from Mori di Bari, Italy. Since the beginning it has specialized in serving large Italian heroes at first to the longshoremen who worked on the piers along the Brooklyn waterfront and now to everyone who makes the journey to its free-standing green-and-red-painted brick building.  

We recently visited @defontes1922 and met the third-generation owner who told us they are celebrating their 100 year anniversary this year and had an enormous eggplant 🍆 parmigiana sandwich which was absolutely delicious. All the sandwiches are huge and come in one-third or one-half hero sizes on fresh Italian bread 🥖. 

To watch our visit to Defonte’s and our visit to a custom neon sign shop @moonsignnyc nearby please check out our JamesandKarla YouTube channel, see direct link below & in bio and IG story. •
