469 Sports & Spirits

This review is for the Garno's Ham & Cheese grinder only.  

I wish the original Garno's on Parnell still existed, because I hate the ugly, hole-in-the-wall location in New Haven.  I guess they focus more on the "469 Sports n Spirts" bar part than anything else.

But the grinders are still amazing---still perfectly crisped outside and doughy inside.  Still gooey yummy.

I hate stepping inside of this place--let me rephrase: i ABHOR the trashiness, the nasty truck-stop feel to it.  But the ham n cheese grinder wrapped in foil as a to-go option in New Haven is worth shading your eyes to get.

I know Mancino's has good alternatives (and a cleaner, friendlier location), but there is something about Garno's that keeps me coming back every time i'm in town.  

I'm salivating just thinking about it.
