Our pick for the best falafel sandwich in New York. Clean, crisp, and grease-free, with great hummus, salads, and smoothies.
Here the classic Egg and Cheese gets a substantial upgrade. Egg and cheese is filled with a lush dollop of creamy ricotta, and sandwiched between thick slices of cheese-crusted Balthazar brioche.
Hole in the wall with great flaky burek and tender grilled cevapi (skinless beef sausages). A must for Balkan food enthusiasts.
There's a lot of cured meats to choose from and most any of them can be turned into a sandwich. A good place to start: salami with wine and hazelnuts, sliced to order and layered with feta and onion.
Cheap hole in the wall diner in the heart of midtown, an unlikely but delicious source for Cubanos and other sandwiches.
Halloumopita is made with yeasted dough that holds bits of sweet onions and chunks of chewy, salty halloumi--not quite a sandwich under typical definitions, but we'll let it pass.
Consider this: the Indian grilled cheese, or the paneer tikka sandwich--soft white bread stuffed with chili-spiced paneer, layered with green chili, tamarind, and mint chutney.
The archetypical bành mí baguette: ultra-crisp and crackly with a blistered surface and soft, tender crumb plus perfectly fresh fillings make this bahn mi our favorite in NYC.
