Brennan & Carr is a Sheepshead Bay institution on Nostrand Avenue, serving hot roast beef sandwiches since 1938.
Eater New York calls it New York’s answer to LA’s French dip: a pile of beef awash in steaming juices. Reviewers love its classic, unpretentious feel; the double-dip roast beef, the Gargiulo burger and onion rings are favorites.
