🥪 Classic Sandwich Combinations

Fresh bread takes the lead at Best Subs, a tiny East Harlem shop at 1928 3rd Avenue. This is a quick, affordable sandwich stop with a menu centered on straightforward classics. Basic ingredients and uncomplicated assembly are the approach here, keeping attention on what goes between the bread rather than an elaborate preparation.

The meatball option pairs its filling with mozzarella, while another combination brings together pastrami turkey and roast beef. For a traditional cold cut order with vegetables and condiments already in the mix, the classic turkey sub is layered with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The finishing touches for that order are mayo along with a combination of vinegar and oil.

The shop opens from 7 AM to 8 PM Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 8 PM on Saturday, and from 9 AM to 7 PM on Sunday.
