Parm NYC

248 Mulberry Street, New York City, NY 10012  

Soon after we arrived at our Airbnb base in Nolita, New York City, we knew we had to have some genuine Italian-American cooking before we hit the hay to sleep off our jet lag. We were quite lucky to get a table as it was a Saturday night and the place was full. The front-of-house managed to rustle us up a table in the back, after some gentle persuasion, having initially said it would be a 45 minute wait.

The menu at Parm is minimal, and it soon became apparent we needed try the Parm signature sandwiches.

The veggie side dishes we ordered came served as a starter, rather than with the main course. Before ordering too many dishes, we checked ourselves, remembering American portions are usually huge. This was not the case, but the quality was superb, so we weren't left disappointed. 

The B&G Poppers are deep fried and stuffed peppers with rice and provolone. It's a delicious gooey, spicy dream served with a cheesy dip. The 'smashed & crispy' potatoes came with herbs, spring onions and two dips.

I had the 'Meatball Parmigiana Hero', served with baked ziti and meat gravy. The meat patty came served topped with beautifully fresh mozzarella and torn basil. It’s quite simply the best meatball sub I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating.

My friends enjoyed the eggplant sub, sausage and pepper sub and the Chicken Francese (white wine and lemon sauce).

The wine and beers were great too. It came to about $130 (including drinks) for the 4 of us, which was great value for such good food. Highly recommended!
