"During and after Saturday and Sunday’s Civic Center festivities, a locals’ secret cheap-eats spot will come in handy for everyone who hates festival food. Right on Larkin Street near Eddy is this hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese sandwich spot with ridiculously cheap prices and ridiculously good banh mi, complete with fresh vegetables and a light, sweet dressing. The roast pork with pate is a strong choice, but you won’t go wrong with any of the options, and you’re going to walk out of there for less than $5, which in San Francisco counts as basically free." - Jay C. Barmann
