Gal Amir: You'll be overwhelmed by the crowd, but actually the line moves fast. Prepare yourself for the best pastrami sandwich you have ever had 💃
Sofia Papastamelos: The table service is slow and hostile. The bagels and lox were fresh and delicious! Can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches.
Nicholas Borge: Get the half sandwich (Pastrami and Rye) and soup unless you're hungry - then go for full sandwich.

Andreana Leung: Try the gallejo sandwich, it has both serrano ham and chorizo, plus melted cheese yummy!
Cooper Smith: The Picante Bocadillo is incredible - Chorizo sausage, mahon cheese, spicy peppers, tomatoes, and alioli. While you wait, go splittsies on the chorizo with chestnuts
Ray Lin: Great hot sandwiches. Grab a toothpick and sample the huge selection of meats and cheeses.
Trevor Sumner: Best breakfast sandwich in city. Egg white bacon cheese on English muffin. Or sub sausage. The best.
Real Cheap Eats: Try the "Pho Real" ($7), which combines "fresh sliced Boar’s Head roast beef, basil, cilantro, sprouts, tomato and avocado...to capture the essence of the Vietnamese noodle soup in sandwich form." Read more.
Veronique V: The Parlor is such an amazing sandwich - grilled chicken, egg, blue cheese, sprouts, avocado. Sounds strange but is excellent!

Adrianna Grężak: Cheap eats without the cheap decor. Great fried chicken and I was happy to see sandwich options. Try the potato salad
Lucius Kwok: The main attraction is the fried chicken supper, and the fried chicken sandwich is also very good.
DoubleDeuce: Tasty sandwiches and excellent happy hour specials. It's small and a tight squeeze but the food is definitely a neighborhood favorite.
Sajid Mehmood: After you've had a few different flavors of the falafel sandwich (green and harissa are my favorites), go for the sabich (sa-beech) sandwich. Fried eggplant, with a sliced boiled egg. Delicious.
Doraly Pantaleon: Great fresh and natural pita sandwiches n salads
Nico V.: ALWAYS delicious and fresh falafel sandwiches. The Harissa spicy falafel is my new fave, though the traditional cilantro is still yum.
