Hey hey hey!!

If you checked our blog out yesterday, you saw that we are talking about sandwiches this week! If you missed yesterday’s entry, check it out here – Cooking Tip Mondays – The Sandwich Edition!

Now as you may or may not know, we truly enjoy going out into the city and trying new things, particularly restaurants. In keeping with this week’s Sandwich theme, we present to you the top 5 sandwich spots in the city (according to the K. Parris crew, anyway)

Here we go!

#5. Katz’s Delicatessen (205 East Houston Street, NY NY 10002)

Ahh, Katz’s. Who doesn’t know about the landmark deli in the Lower East Side that has been serving up mammoth sandwiches since 1888? Sure, they break all of the traditional rules and tips of a sandwich – the proportion of bread to filling is astoundingly disproportionate. But who cares? If you’ve ever had a Katz’s sandwich, then you understand why in this case, it doesn’t matter. Katz’s high quality, melt in your mouth deli meats, coupled with sharp brown mustard on their distinct rye bread, is a sandwich that you can’t help but fall in love with. Sandwich too big for you? Do what we do – take out some of the meat and save it for snacking with their fresh pickled cucumber later. (and be SURE to try the pastrami. Seriously.) They also offer traditional deli sides, like their specialty coleslaw or potato salads.

#4. better burger nyc (Various Locations in NYC)

A burger’s a sandwich too, right? And here at better burger, they make their burgers right – and as healthy as a burger can possibly be. Their selection of organic, antibiotic and hormone free meat and poultry set them apart from other burger chains. They keep everything simple and flavorful. For the vegan in you, they offer both vegetarian and soy options, as well as awesome and healthier alternatives to the fast food side. Don’t let their healthier approach fool you, though: these sandwiches/burgers are to die for…and number 4 on our best sandwich list.

#3. eatery nyc (798 Ninth Avenue at 53rd Street)

You may have heard us talk about eatery nyc before, either during our Week for Kids, or on one of our sister magazines, GraeGram. Their sandwiches are worth the additional mention. Try their Portobello flatbread with baby spinach, jack cheese and hummus to satisfy the vegetarian desires in you. My daughter was in love with their turkey burger – and for good reason, it was fresh, juicy, and satisfying. For a little bit of spice, their Southwestern Chicken Panini with Sweet Chipotle Aioli. With great drinks and a relaxing yet chic atmosphere to round out their great sandwiches, eatery is a must try – and number 3 on our list of awesome NYC sandwiches.

#2. Epstein’s Bar NYC (82 Stanton Street, NY NY 10007)

Epstein’s is another restaurant you may have heard us talk about before in our ode to the Lower East Side. All jokes aside, we talk about the LES restaurants so much because there are so many great ones out there! If you’ve never ventured to the LES for some grub, you definitely should. Anything and everything is down there. Believe me. Epstein’s is one of those treasures. Their grilled chicken wrap with herbed mayo is off the chain. (Yes, we said off the chain.) They have a pretty great sandwich menu, from their steak and cheese wrap to the traditional club…and they are all. Good. Pair your sandwich with a Blue Moon or a Stella Artois, or, even better, one of their awesome cocktails, and you have a recipe for success…and the number 2 sandwich spot on our list.

#1. Jackson Hole Diner (Various Locations in NYC)

If you’ve never had a 7 ounce burger at Jackson Hole, you’re missing out. The grilled greatness of a Jackson Hole burger is unparalleled! (Hey. We should do a burger week! Hmmm…) But Jackson Hole is not number 1 on our sandwich list because of their burgers…they are number 1 because their sandwiches are something to write home about. Seriously. Aside from having one of the biggest selections of sandwiches in NY, they are all pretty awesome! (Not that we’ve tried them all. Just saying.) They have the usual sandwich fare - a must try is their tuna melt, for starters – but we especially love their lineup of unusual sandwiches such as the Rustler Sandwich and the Akaboura Chicken Sandwich. So go and check them out in any of their ten NYC locations – in Queens, or in Manhattan. Trust us. You’ll be glad you did. There’s a reason they’re number 1 on our list…=o)
