New York Sub, one of the longest-running sandwich shops in Dallas' Park Cities, is expected to close in February 2026, owner Andrew Kelley wrote on Instagram.
The sub shop across the street from Southern Methodist University has been open since the 1970s. As University Park and nearby Snider Plaza have grown up over the years, New York Sub was one of the few longtime restaurants that didn't change much, alongside charming veterans like Bubba's and Burger House.
New York Sub was a place for "first dates, post-game meals and late-night study breaks," Kelley wrote on social media. It was also popular with families in the neighborhood, as the shop had arcade games.
Popular orders include the meatball, Italian and pastrami sandwiches. Prices stayed reasonable despite inflated ingredient costs, with most subs starting around $12.

Kelley wrote that he "simply can't make the new financial terms work" with the landlord, who is a new owner after the building recently changed hands. Kelley and his wife, Edi Kelley, have been the restaurant operators since 2016.

The impending closure of New York Sub follows the high-profile closures of other sandwich shops like the Great Outdoors, open in Addison for 45 years until its end in early 2025; and Great American Hero, which closed in 2023 after nearly 50 years. Add them to our list of heartbreaking restaurant closures.
New York Sub's Instagram post asks the community for help in finding a lower-priced address or identifying a family who wants to take over the business and keep it in its current location.

"We'd love to turn these next two months into a goodbye tour, not just a countdown," Kelley wrote. "Come see us, bring your people, and have one more sub at 3411 Asbury."
