‘We Do Things the Old Way’ | Sandwich City

On Avenue U, in the northeast corner of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, is Brennan & Carr, a neighborhood joint known for its roast beef sandwich. This hot roast beef on a roll is beloved. Open since 1938, the staff and customers tend to measure their loyalty in decades, not years. Time seems to stand still at Brennan & Carr, but the quality, care and genuine hospitality never do. “Everything is done exactly as I remember as a kid,” the owner, Eddie Sullivan, said. Customers have some options when it comes to how they want their sandwich dipped in “the broth.” There’s the “dingle dangle,” where only the meat is dipped; 2) the standard dip, which is meat and then the top bun; 3) a “double dip,” which goes meat, then top bun, then whole sandwich; and 4) a “K.F.J.,” which stands for “knife and fork job,” which is a double dip plus more broth ladled on top.

President Trump visited New York’s 17th Congressional District, speaking at the Fieldhouse at Rockland Community College - marking the first time a sitting president has visited Rockland County since 1976. The event drew a large crowd, with supporters filling the venue and chanting “Four more years!” during the speech. Trump highlighted Rep.
