If you love hoagies and your kids love to picnic, then you must plan a family day that involves Dave’s Hoagies. As they state on their menu, “Bringing a taste of Philly to NYC” and they mean it. The hoagies are gigiantic, delicious and perfect for an outdoor picnic with the kids, whether you are heading to Pier 15, Pier 17, Pier 25 or somewhere in between. Definitely big enough to share. And, don’t forget the Tastykakes for dessert…cream-filled buttercream cupcakes – yummy!
