no.7 sub
Last week I finally got a taste of No.7 Sub, the crazy-combo sandwich shop that opened up in a pocket-sized storefront of the Ace Hotel in the Flatiron District. BG ordered the roast beef (top) with chimichurri, hummus, and potato chips (I know!), while I got the lamb meatloaf (above) with chipotle tomato sauce, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh mozzarella. Both were pretty spectacular, especially since they were consumed under sunny, barely-autumn skies in Madison Square Park — on a weekday, no less — and were so filling that we each finished half our sandwiches and haphazardly re-wrapped the rest for later. And later — well, maybe the bread didn’t have the same crunchy-soft contrast as before, but my goodness, the flavors still shone through. They’ve got a General Tso’s Tofu sandwich on the menu, which I’m told is quite tasty, so that’s on my to-do (to-eat?) list for October. Anyone care to join me?
i’m a big fan of their sandwiches too. if you get a chance, you should try their breakfast sandwiches. my favorite is the roast pork loin with blueberry sriracha sauce. yum!
