Sunny and Annie's

They have a New York Magazine article about them posted in the store that posits this unassuming bodega must put something in the sandwiches to make them addictive. I'm inclined to agree.

It may be that I live such a short walk from them, but they really know how to put a sandwich together. Of course, you can get it however you want, but their unique sandwich ideas are almost uniformly great. The Mona Lisa (chicken cutlet, roasted red peppers, watercress, mozzarella, and balsamic vinegar), East Side Ink (melted roast beef and swiss with bacon, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, and your choice of mayo or mustard), and their signature P.H.O. Real (roast beef, sprouts, cilantro, tomato, onion, hoisin and sriracha sauces) are among my favorites.

Quality occasionally varies depending on who makes your sandwich, and they don't always have the Nantucket Nectars Half & Half that I want, but they're reasonably priced, open 24 hours, and I think Annie knows me now.
