All'Antico Vinaio · 125 Park Avenue | New York

Originating from a family-run Florence institution dating back to 1991, this outpost serves up hefty portions that are easy to take away but tough to eat on-site. The space is strictly a grab-and-go setup with only a couple of seats and a standing counter. The bread manages to be crusty without scratching the roof of your mouth, and they also bake a gluten-free focaccia to order. While price tags are high, the sandwiches are built with a balanced ratio of cured meats, cheeses, and spreads like caramelized onion cream.
