If the frat-boy humor doesn't deter you – 'naked balls' and 'family jewels,' har har – you can enjoy hot and tasty meatballs and sandwiches amid a steady stream of Brooklynites at this casual local chain. Choose from classic, pork or gluten-free chicken; the Meatball Shop whips up good veggie and vegan balls, too.
Also in the Lower East Side, the West Village, Chelsea and Uptown.
