We had a Firehouse replace the Quizno's near my house.  A little gimmicky and not a whole lot of toppings to choose from, but I liked their Turkey sub I had.

We have a chain called Lenny's here in New York, but googling seems to suggest that it is a completely different entity.

I'm thinking this is the one you mean: http://www.lennys.com/locations/

Yeah, that's the joint.  Damn, they're all over the place.  They have this hot pepper relish that I just love for some reason.  Otherwise they're pretty much a standard sub place, although they do offer a "large" size that is about two feet long as gimmick #2.

Subway used to have some good hot pepper relish in most locations, and now it's almost impossible to find.

I sorta like Penn Station.
Great fries.  They also have decent cheesesteaks, though not as good as an actual Philly joint.

Huh.  I didn't know about that.  I wonder if they still have it at any of the places near my house.

I hit a lot of Subways in my business travels, and in the last several years the only places I've found the stuff have been Iowa and South Dakota.  Otherwise, I have to settle for the pickled jalapenos.

I had some philly cheesesteak lean pockets a month or two ago. They're alright, but I prefer the chicken cheddar jalapeno flavor.
