We love to come here for some of the best (and biggest) breakfast sandwiches in the city. Get the Jeff, or if you're not a fan of their amazing Portuguese pancetta, get the Pavia, which is also great!
Really nice crusty torpedo style bread with generous sandwich toppings. For vegetarians recommend: Altan sandwich. Nice assortment of healthy drinks and snacks as well.
The proprietor is amazingly friendly and will extensively explain all the sandwiches on offer. Expect to have your mind changed several times and end up with something that you wouldn't normally try!
The bread is light and crunchy and the service is incredible. After explaining the menu I was able to make a choice for a tasty breakfast sandwich. Ended up walking away with a surprise cookie!
Try the Dave, a baguette stuffed with Italian sausage, fresh tomato, diced broccoli rabe, house-made piri-piri sauce & a layer of melted mozzarella. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. Read more
So good! Ranking what I've tried from favorite to least favorite: Franco, Rob, Salvatore, James, Gary & Phil, LGBT (I dislike goat cheese). I need to try: Dave and Henrique
The girls managing the counter were extremely friendly and helpful. Awesome menu options. Everything was fresh and tasty, try the Jerry with smoked salmon!
One of our favorite places to grab a quick sandwich. Interesting and delicious options, all on incredible bread. Dock a bike across the street at 9 Ave & W 45 St
The "Nuno" is the one to try ($9.95). "It’s an inspired concoction of blood sausage, broccoli rabe, mozzarella and fixins, scrunched between City Sandwich’s superbly crusty and fresh sandwich rolls." Read more
The simple name belies the delicious and unique food supplied within. These Italian-Portuguese sandwiches are a delight, as is the friendly staff. Best food I've encountered in the area.
Known normally for lunch, these guys make excellent breakfast sandwiches too, and in affordable half-sizes. Pick: the omelet+sausage+mozz+cabbage Marco, which is reminiscent of a sausage & peppers.
The James and the Franco are awesome! The bread is fantastic crusty and soft at the same time! And you the panna cotta may be one of the best in the city!!
Good and interesting sandwiches, very helpful and welcoming service. Talk with Michael, the owner, and you can tell he loves his job. Try the panna cotta dessert.
Top sandwich spot in NYC: try the Henrique and the Franco - nothing like it anywhere. Soups are excellent. Carb free option for the anorexics. Don't forget the exquisite Panna Cotta!
Excellent service! I had the Altan: fresh mozzarella, , tomato and lettuce: it was perfect exactly right for a warm day! They offer coffee for free which I think is nice!
If you are looking for a sandwich overstuffed with Meat and other toppings, this is not your place...."gourmet" sandwiches ONLY and they are legit....try the Henrique, you wont be disappointed!
Don't let the interior fool you and don't walk past this place, they're sandwiches are goood and made with fresh ingredients. And what a surprise: French 'pain'! Yum!
The bread used for the sandwiches were really good, but our sandwiches were okay. We had chicken and roast beef, but I think they’re pork products are their specialty. Not bad overall.
Only in America can ingredients like alheira and blood sausage be marketed as healthy... Bread is amazing, tough! (nobody bakes them like the Portuguese)
