Iconic Capital Region Sandwich Shop Has One Of The Best Sandwiches In The Northeast

There are certain places in the Capital Region that you know will be around for generations to come. Cardona's Market is one of those iconic spots in Albany that just keeps getting better. We'd say that this 80-year-old gem on Delaware Ave is aging like a fine wine and bringing in new customers with classic taste.

Living in this area for my entire life I sometimes forget about how good we have it when it comes to small local markets and shops. It's certainly not something to take for granted, and there's a reason why a spot like Cardona's is still here eight decades later. Now it looks like they're social media famous thanks to TikToker, Jordan Tries.

Big D Goes Viral

I dare anyone to watch this video and not immediately get hungry for one the the amazing sandwiches at Cardona's. The Big D, which is seen above, is a classic Italian style sub. It's just one of the many great sandwiches on their menu in Albany, where they are located at 340 Delaware Ave.

Cardona's also has locations in Latham and Saratoga. From their website:

The original market was opened in downtown Albany by Augusto Cardona Sr. over 75 years ago, with a focus on bringing Italian imports to the neighborhood.

While they always have items like the Big D ready to go make sure you're following them on social media because Cardona's also rolls out one day only food specials on occasion. They also do specials. You don't want to miss out on one of those opportunities.
