The Best Sandwiches in NYC Are Sold Out of a Window in Chinatown
As a part of Snack Shop series, Annie Arriaga investigates the latest and greatest viral snack shops in New York City to see if the hype is real, if the snacks are yummy, and if the spot is underrated, overrated, or perfectly rated.
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.
