I really like this place! Having just moved back to the 'Burgh after living in Philly for 12 years, my standards are unnaturally high for NY-style fare. One could argue that NY-style food is usually just as good in Philly as it is in NYC. This hits the spot. The heroes (aka. hoagies in Pittsburgh) are really tasty. I purchased the #1 (salami+) and the #2 (prosciutto+). The rolls were fresh (probably Mancini's) and the filling was great, though I'd like a bit more of it. Still, for the cheap price of $8+change for a 12" sub, it was pretty awesome.
I'm going to try the Italian Ice (aka. water ice) and knish next. I can't believe I can now get knishes in Bellevue! I'm working my way up to a pizza... I'm not gonna lie, my standards are high for NY-style pizza. Also, I should mention that the service was excellent. The guy who waited on me was super friendly and speedy!
It seems like NY Heroes & Italian Ice has a great start in Bellevue, and I'm really excited to try everything they have to offer. In my memory no restaurant has ever succeeded long-term in this location, so I wish them luck!
