Parm

In a city with innumerable fine-dining restaurants and a glittery new restaurant that seems to open practically every day, the sandwich often gets overlooked. Parm gives the timeless classic the attention it deserves, serving no-frills (but delicious) Italian staples like chicken parm, eggplant parm and meatball parm heros. They still pay homage to other classics like baked ziti and mozzarella sticks, and have a rotating daily special. The red-and-white awning is right at home in Nolita, and alludes to the comforting Italian food served inside the cozy, cute spot. No parties larger than 6.
