Aamanns–Copenhagen (CLOSED)

Smørrebrød—the open-faced Danish sandwiches—arrive on the New York sub scene with this modernist cafe. House-made rye is topped with ingredients like beef tartare or chicken salad and baked root vegetables. Drinkers can throw back a shot of homemade aquavit to go with the Northern European fare. The minimalist 45-seat spot channels Scandinavian cool with white oak floors and chairs by Danish designer Arne Jacobsen.
