The Sandwich Board

"If your standard bodega BEC isn’t doing it for you, check out The Sandwich Board. The tiny window on the Lower East Side serves sandwiches that draw inspiration from all over the place, like a tsangwich with peking duck on a bolo bao, a halal cart sandwich, and one called the Mulberry, with ham, pepperoni and mortadella. That tsangwich is pretty solid, but we’re more excited by their breakfast sandwiches, like the tres golpes, where thin patties of crisped-up Dominican sausage envelop eggs, sweet plantains, and pickled onions. Take your sandwich to go (there are only a few chairs outside the window reserved for waiting customers), sit on a bench in Sara D. Roosevelt Park, and watch people play soccer while you tuck into your breakfast.

Add a tangy salsa rosada, and it's a huge upgrade from your usual BEC. photo credit: Will Hartman Tsangwich Made with your choice of peking duck or chashu pork and served on a bolo bao. Some more Chinese mustard would have cut the richness of the duck and balanced out the sweet hoisin, but we were still happy with this choice." - Will Hartman

"Lower East Side: Everyone likes sandwiches. That’s what the simple premise of the Sandwich Board is betting on. In the morning various breakfast sandwiches are served, and then, by lunch, there are sandwiches like salmon banh mi." - Emma Orlow
