Guy Fieri may not know diddly about opening a good restaurant in Times Square — if that’s even possible — but you’ve got to give the bleached whale his props for spotlighting Morrison Drive’s Tattooed Moose on his hit show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Mike Kulick and company serve up some of the tastiest and gut-bustingly robust sammies around. Our go-to sandwich is the Lucky No. 1, which is more or less a bánh mì on steroids. It’s packed with braised pork belly, house-made kimchi, onion straws, cukes, tomatoes, cilantro, and wasabi mayo. Other faves include the very smoky, coma-inducing Smoked Chicken Salad BLT and the Lowcountry Cuban, which is pretty much just like your regular Cuban but with a Moose-made spicy green tomato pickle. Speaking of pickles, the Tattooed Moose just may serve up the best in town. At the very least, they give the folks at Husk a run for their money. —Chris Haire
