The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread:
#queenseatssandwichlist
Whether hot or cold, sandwiches somehow always hit the spot and we have plenty of options here in Queens. We have been working on this list for months, and we have only just scratched the surfaces of what is available here in Queens. While we keep working at it, here's where we are at! We have been very flexible on our definition of a sandwich, landing somewhere between hand held food and food wrapped in other food, bread not necessary, but we wanted to give all these great options their due! Hope you enjoy!
*Sandwiches next to try for our list include: Tony's Beechurst Deli, Press195, Pate, Benateri's Deli, Iavarone Brothers, K & L Deli
