The Power of the “Hash Tag”

Hash Tag Specialty Sandwich from Rocky’s Millwood Deli

Many people when they hear the word “hashtag” think of Twitter or trending topics. But for us kids who grew up in Westchester, when we hear  “hashtag” we think of THE HASH TAG from Rocky’s Millwood Deli. The Hash Tag, as pictured above,  is one of Rocky’s signature specialty sandwiches. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Inside this specialty sandwich is chicken cutlet, bacon, egg, cheese, hashbrown, ketchup, salt, and pepper.

What makes Rocky’s Deli such a staple piece of Westchester is not only its delicious sandwiches, but the fact that this deli is open 24/7. Yes, you read that correctly. After a night out, sometimes you get those late night munchies, and there are no places open, but Rocky’s always is. I have been there after midnight and the line is crazy. People from all over Westchester flock to Rocky’s for its incredible, yet greasy, food.

This past Sunday, on my latest trip to Rocky’s, I went with my younger brother. I love how a place I used to frequently go to in high school, is now a place where he and his friends like to go. I hadn’t been to Rocky’s in a couple of years, but the menu has not changed. (As a side note,  it is important to keep in mind that Rocky’s is cash only for anyone who plans on taking the trip.) The two of us walked in and ordered our sandwiches. I got the Hash Tag of course, and he ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese with macaroni bites. He claims it is the best sandwich, but I feel like I must stay loyal to the Hash Tag. The sandwiches cost a pretty penny though. We ordered the two sandwiches and an Arizona Iced Tea and it came out to $18. My mind was blown.

I think Rocky’s is a great treat once every few months or years. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this to be a daily or even weekly spot for a person to attend. Because as I was taught, “a minute on your lips, is forever on your hips”.
