Depressed City Sub Devotées Can Console Themselves with a Postcard

By now, you've probably heard the news that rocked Park Slope this week -- neighborhood sandwich shop institution City Sub on Bergen Street is CLOSED!! And even though the sign on the door says this is just temporary, and that they will be reopening soon on the very same block, people are fah-reaking out. Even Pete Wells and A.O. Scott from The New York Times went all cray cray on Twitter over this development:

Heh, heh. Me likey that A.O. Scott. Well, fret not folks, while you wait for the chance to once again stand in line for a sub that is definitely pretty good, but not like, the be-all end-all of sammiches, artists D. Billy and Nathan Manuel made a postcard for you:

As part of an art show back in 2011, my collaborator Nathan Manuel and I made a series of faux-vintage postcards depicting “personal landmarks” in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. The postcards feature places that are important to us, that probably wouldn't make the cut for the city's tourism board. One such place is City Sub. Attached is an image of that postcard.

As a gesture of our deepest sympathies for fellow City Sub regulars who are waiting out the long days until they re-open in a new space down the street, we would like to mail one of these postcards to anyone who would like one. Interested best-sandwich-shop-ever fans should:

1.) PayPal $1.00 to DAVID@DBILLY.COM to cover postage and contribute toward our future sandwich purchases.

2.) Send an email to that same address with the subject line “City Sub”: Give us your mailing address, and tell us your favorite sandwich.

3.) Stand by the mailbox and wait eagerly for the postcard — which may or may not have a drawing of your favorite sandwich on the back — to arrive.

Your Brothers in Sandwichdom,

D.Billy & Nathan Manuel

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking Father's Day gift.
