Sandwich Review in NYC #2 (Defonte's)
Went to Defonte's in Red Hook. Very old neighborhood institution that specializes in Italian style sandwiches. They got that 'wall of fame' thing going on with pictures of the ex-Yankees, ex-Giants, and all the actors from The Sopranos at the deli counter.
Got the Nicky's Special. Ham, provolone , salami, cappicola, fried eggplant, "hot salad", mushroom, lettuce, tomato.
Huge sandwich so good value. Great cured meats, well balanced with the vegetablers, crispy eggplant ties the whole thing together nicely.
Rating: 4.
Took a nice stroll to Coffey Park and ate my sandwich at on bench. It's nice to be outside and to mostly stay off my phone and the internet. I'm always worrying about price action in my positions, even if they are long term positions with wider stops and I don't have to be glued to my screen. I have a decently sized bitcoin long position that's been built over weeks. Weekend we went to 69,600 and I thought we'd for sure paint through 70,000. I wasn't expecting a dip today.
I hear a lot of narrative talk that this latest move in BTC is election driven... (mostly by those thinking Trump win = good for crypto). I hope it's just a flimsy post-hoc narrative and not something actually driving people to buy. Because if it's not, then once Trump gets elected, there will probably be some sell-the-news effect. Maybe it holds that dip and keeps going, like what happened when it sold off on ETF approval, but who knows? This 6 month range is killing me.
