The cultish Italian sandwich spot was already a Soho legend, thanks to the masterfully dressed, painstakingly made subs coming out of its Sullivan Street flagship—marked with a cheeky list of rules detailing what they will and will not serve you (yay to huge, prosciutto-crammed heroes; nay to avocado wraps and silverware). At this spacious midtown offshoot, the rules have slackened slightly—along with combos like the speck-and-smoked-mozz Evangelist or the capicola-and-mushroom-paste Antoinette, there are breakfast sandwiches, coffee and salads like a classic Caprese.
Hero, hoagie, grinder, sub—whatever you call ’em, New Yorkers love a good sandwich, whether it’s a piled-high pastrami sandwich on rye to a gooey patty melt at one of the best diners in NYC. And the latest incarnations are the best thing since sliced bread, what with lively new sandwich shops in NYC dedicated to breaking the meat-cheese-and-bun mold, from stacked-high Dagwoods to jaw-testing Italian combos.
