↳replying to u/crazeman: I grew up on Bensonhurst but haven't really lived or eaten in the area for a while so I only know the "old" places and not any of the new ones.

The "original" [John's Deli](https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-original-johns-deli-brooklyn) has one of the best roast beef sandwiches. They smother it with fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions, and this delicious thick black sauce to keep the roast beef moist. Honestly they have the best roast beef out of any other places that I've tried. They have a few locations in Brooklyn
If you walk a few blocks away, there's also [L&B Spumoni Gardens](https://www.yelp.com/biz/l-and-b-spumoni-gardens-brooklyn) which is famous for their square slices and spumoni. People give them shit for falling off or being not as good but it still hits the spot for me whenever I get them.
Pro tip, L&B is one of the few places that has the same prices on UberEats vs in-person ($32 for a Sicilian square pie). You pair that with a 40% UberEats off coupon that they give out every other week and you can pretty much get them delivered for the same price without making the trip out. The 40% coupons pretty much covers the delivery fee/tip/whatever bullshit UberEats tack on.
IMO if it's your first time trying L&B I'd recommend going in person as it taste MUCH better fresh but if you're a old head who got a craving for L&B, UberEats is a pretty good alternative without having to make the trip.

↳replying to u/kimjexziel: Can’t do it without the help of our good Redditor’s here.
I’m biased to New Flushing Bakery since I’m from Queens 😭. I haven’t tried the other bakeries that you mentioned but I really liked the Double Crispy one. So goooood!
