Sandwich Spot · Midtown East · 25 tips and reviews
Vicky Davis: The hot dishes & daily specials are remarkable and the sandwich line is always the length of the place, but worth the wait. Not cheap, the portions are huge.
Victoria G: Finally get the hype for sandwiches. Best hot sandwiches I have ever had. Get the Sgt Sweet Pepper on a hero. It's off the menu.
David Li: If you enjoy being fat, have them keep the skin on the turkey. Perfection

American Restaurant · Midtown East · 61 tips and reviews
Tash Concepcion: Expensive but worth every penny. Fresh ingredients and great variety. On Fridays you can get reasonably priced sushi rolls but go early as it sells out quickly!
Randy Faust: If you avoid this place during lunch rush you aren't a real New Yorker.
The Corcoran Group: This place is insane during lunchtime, but there’s no better place to go for a salad – totally customizable and we recommend you add the Ancho Roasted Salmon.
