Best sandwiches
Mon Mar 2 2009
- Porchetta
Bite into the sandwich at this tiny restaurant—stuffed with juicy chunks of herb-and-spice--flavored meat and crackling skin chips. You won’t be sorry, hungry or broke afterward.
110 E 7th St between First Ave and Ave A (212-777-2151) - Baoguette
The debate continues over who has the best banh mi in the city, but newcomer Baoguette has quickly become one of the top contenders. Go for traditional versions, such as pork pt with pickled vegetables, or try an inventive one, like red-curry corned beef with caramelized onions.
61 Lexington Ave between 25th and 26th Sts (212-518-4089) - Defonte’s
This Italian shop in Red Hook—nearly 90 years old—has made its name selling massive hero sandwiches with fillings like potato, egg and mozzarella. Now thanks to a Gramercy outpost, it’s possible to indulge in this Brooklyn tradition without leaving the island.
379 Columbia St, at Luquer St, Red Hook, Brooklyn (718-625-8052). 261 Third Ave at 21st St (212-614-1500)
