Get the hot roast beef sandwich, it’s beyond great. Service was fast and nice. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu
Brown Bag Sandwich on 22nd Street: A Neighborhood Hopeful That Doesn’t Quite Hold Together New York has a way of elevating the humble chopped cheese into something almost ceremonial. It’s the city’s unofficial handshake, a sandwich that carries with it the promise of comfort, immediacy, and a certain democratic charm. Brown Bag Sandwich on 22nd Street seems to understand this mythology. The room is tidy, the staff unfailingly gracious, and the menu reads like a curated tour through bodega Ameri
I really wanted to love this spot, and it must be said all the ingredients in the sandwich were great. However the quality of the bread was not there. It was very stale. I did come by around 5pm so it’s possible it’s a different experience at lunch time.
