White House Sub Shop
Old-school sub shop open since 1946, its walls covered with celebrity photos. Its giant Italian cold-cut sandwiches are an Atlantic City signature.
This entry is the original shop at 2301 Arctic Avenue, founded in 1946 by Anthony Basile and a relative. The walls are covered with photos of celebrity regulars including B.B. King and Dr. J, and bread is delivered several times a day from a local bakery. The signature “White House Special” stacks salami, provolone, ham, Italian cured pork neck and hot pickled peppers. The portions are huge, and two people often share one sub. The classic Italian cold cut is also popular. Lines form on weekends, so it's a good stop to refuel after a night out. The Hard Rock casino has its own branch, but reviewers rate it below the original.
