After Eden Serves Weekend Bánh Mì on Orchard Street

At 162 Orchard Street, you eat beneath floral wallpaper and framed Van Gogh and Monet prints, in a room that turns into a cocktail bar at 5 PM. Café Eden serves bánh mì every Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM.

The signature Bánh Mì l Oanh is $14. The bread is baked in house and so is the chả lụa, layered with head cheese, pâté, rau răm and fresh peppers. It's a limited weekend run, so aim for noon rather than 3:30.

Bring a friend or a date and pair your sandwich with Cà Phê Muối, Vietnamese coffee with salted cream. Sold out? Try the café's fish sauce caramel kouign amann ($7) or pork pastry ($8.50), with a phin coffee. These are menu prices before tax. The menu is still evolving, so check @aftereden.nyc before you head over.
