Everyone knows that New York City has some fantastic restaurants. Usually people think of the high end establishments and possibly the pizza places. But another area where New York City shines is its sandwiches. There are so many different types of sandwiches, with influences ranging from Mexican to Indian, Italian, Vietnamese and many others.
These are my favorite sandwich places at the moment.
A very popular sandwich that is sprouting up all over the city is the Mexican torta. They are cheap and delicious. Some of the best ones can be had at La Esquina in Soho and Puebla on 1st Ave.
The city in general has been in a Vietnamese Sandwich, also known as Banh Mi, frenzy for about a year now. These sandwiches are traditionally served with different types of pork, cilantro, pickled carrots and mayonnaise. An excellent alternative for vegetarians is to get a Portobello mushroom Banh Mi.
The hottest Italian sandwich shop in the city right now is Torissi Italian Specialties on Mulberry Street. Sandwich shop by day and formal restaurant by night, Torissi has something for everyone. Their chicken parm is not to be missed.
The Vietnamese sandwich is a little much for my girlfriend, who is not a fan of pork. When we’re together, we instead go to Num Pang Sandwich Shop, where you can get Cambodian influenced sandwiches. Highlights include the brisket and cauliflower sandwiches.
Sigmund Pretzel Shop – This store specializes in all things pretzels. The smoked turkey with gouda and spicy mustard on a pretzel is a great variation of the standard sandwich.
Then there is Alidoro. This Italian sandwich shop is all about the ingredients and minimalistic at that. The standouts here include the Matthew, which consists of prosciutto, fresh mozzerella, arugula and dressing. The sandwiches are too big to have in one sitting. so although the $13 may seem like a lot, it can easily be two meals.
Aside from food, the writer additionally frequently shares knowledge about cement repair and epoxy floor paint.
