I just saw many are posting New York Subway while I was thinking of New York Sub Hub. I love Sub Hub but never tried NY Subway. I saw one the last time I was in Denton eating at Burger Time Machine but never made it there to eat. Any thoughts on NY Sub Hub vs NY Subway?

Same place, they had to do a name adjustment

they're the same. changed to Sub Hub maybe around '04 or so if memory serves...always heard it was due to the national chain Subway butting in, but don't know for certain. 

Their shop on Avenue C was the cornerstone of my diet for all 5 years of my time in Denton. 

I worked at Hooya for pretty much whole college career, so that also kept me rather full. 

Some sleepers...I forget the name, but there was a sandwich shop directly across the street from NY Sub...they had some Turkey Tuesday deal, like maybe a full sub for $5 or so that I'd definitely cheat on NY Sub for. Mr. Chopsticks and Oriental Garden were sneaky favorites. Sweetwater's was a standard for chill dates, Greenhouse when you were actually trying to impress.

Don't know why the University location didn't have to change the name.  It's a franchise owned by a guy (Mike) who worked for Ken at the original when he was an NT student in the 80s, and decided he wanted to run his own place.  So he opened one near TWU.

[Guest Texas Pickup was the best]

A visit to the Texas pickup and you were home. Best burger and chicken fried and cold beer. In cement city just north of fouts field. Then a new place opened downtown on the square  Denton county Independent made a great burger too.

For those around in the late 1950's and early 1960's, Barlow's right off the square was a great place, a place that some of us athlete's could go, because we did not have much money to spend.  Great country food and the best peach cobbler  anywhere, plus Mr. Barlow was a wonderful man.

Denton Co. is still in operation and owned by Dave Barnett's son.  They are located at on Carroll between Sunset and University in a new location.
