The Best Sandwiches in NYC Are Sold Out of a Window in Chinatown
I've been noticing something lately as I eat my way through New York City: There are way too many sandwich shops. It feels like every week a new one either opens up or somehow goes viral for a clickbait-y chicken caesar wrap that looks messy and impossible to eat. So, when The Sandwich Board popped up on my feed, I was not impressed—until I read the menu. The Sandwich Board is a tiny little stall the width of a door wedged between a bubble tea shop and a computer repair store in Chinatown with a bright red awning and a menu of strictly sandwiches and burritos. The twist that intrigued me: a mix of Asian, Latino, Italian, and American flavor combinations. Think: a killer Mexican barbacoa Torta next to a Texan style braised brisket sandwich on a bao. Their menu reflects the cultures and flavors that make up New York City, and I had never seen it in a sandwich form like this. While their menu seemed enticing, I wasn’t sure whether all of these flavor combinations would work together—so I paid them a visit.
