Signature sandwiches make the easiest handheld order for a quick, inexpensive meal.
The shop is a small, takeout-forward space with just four tables, which makes a pickup order the simplest plan. Find it at 83 Henry Street in Manhattan, open every day from 11 AM to 10 PM, from an early lunch through a late weeknight dinner.
