Our current vote is going to Las Americas Deli (506 Court St. at Nelson St), where the sandwiches are served up with a smile by their in-house sandwich artist extraordinaire, Will. There’s never a shortage of locals lining up at his counter/Mets shrine for a quick conversation and some cheap eats. At $4 or so for an overstuffed sandwich, you can’t go wrong, and with the overall lack of tidy establishments like this one, which has a hot grill and quick service, the shop is a real treasure. Current household favorites are the hot roast beef with queso blanco and some hot sauce, and the always-delectable pastrami with pepper jack cheese and a bit of mustard. $3 breakfast sandwiches? Yep, they’ve got that too. Recently they’ve also added some new refrigerators and they continue to sport an ever-expanding and impressive beer and beverage selection. Family owned and operated, this is true Brooklyn convenience. — Pete D’Angelo

  1. I am the ultimate fan of sandwiches and I have eaten sandwiches on all four corners of the globe. I have eaten Farmer in the Deli and declared it tasted good and made me smile. I raised my trident high in the air and declared it to be a fine sandwich at a decent price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. yes Will is amusing, and they are a bargain, but how do you compare the peter lugar roast beef sarni with jack cheese to a Caputo’s sarni… Sure Caputo’s is more cash about 2 bucks more, but you get rustic bread, top quality imported meats, and the back part of the store isn’t imported from Costco…

    what’s next Wing Wau as best Chinese?

    What I need to know Nelson Streeters is, what the hell is going on at the former Sparky’s ( the former best bar in Brooklyn)???

    someone has to know.
