This funky little store hasn't changed in 40 years and is still a thriving business. Killer (and huge) sandwiches!! Owner, Bennett, has catered to the military at the Defense Language Institute and has created an amazing atmosphere that need to be seen. Ever wanted some kind of candy you used to get as a kid but you thought was long gone? Bennett has it. Military memorabilia? It's everywhere in this tiny store. Makes waiting for you sandwich a fascinating experience. And Compagno's is only two blocks from my home.
