The line at Fiore's deli in Hoboken in 2021. (Caren Lissner/Patch) HOBOKEN, NJ — When Men At Work hit the U.S. pop charts in 1983 with their number one song, "Down Under," people everywhere were singing the lyric, "He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich" — and trying to figure out what that stuff was. But apparently, now Hoboken is answering this by introducing Australia to a different kind of lunch. Down under in Melbourne, Australia, the restaurant Pretty Boy Floyd's has debuted several American-style sandwiches, including one modeled on Katz's Deli in New York.
