Since 1958, the Nigro family has been baking fresh bread, simmering red sauce and cranking out cheese steaks and other subs from a small storefront in Hollywood. You step into Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies — hoagies is misspelled deliberately — and you feel like you’re entering a time warp, a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting.
There’s a small counter, a grill with sizzling shaved rib eye, booths with wooden tables and friendly waitresses. This is a bygone, no-frills world where the only things plastic are bowls and utensils — it’s cash only, no credit cards.
