This New York Sandwich Shop Named Best In State

Looking for the best sandwiches in NY? You might want to check out this spot. There's nothing like a good sandwich! It is a basic type of meal, but it can be elevated to a delicacy. A great sammy starts with the bread, which is the foundation of it. Choosing the wrong bread could ruin the whole thing. Once you've picked the right bread, the world of possibilities opens up. There are some sandwich shops where you can choose your own meat, cheeses, and toppings, and others that exclusively curate specialty sammies.

Sometimes, a simple sandwich, like a grilled cheese or ham and cheese, will do. Other times, it's all about building an extravagant tower of flavors and textures. Personally, I love to customize my own sandwiches with lots of fresh toppings. One of the key ingredients needed for an amazing sammich is a pickle! And for me, it has to be dill.

"It is made with roast beef on a kummelweck roll, a roll that is topped with kosher salt and caraway seeds. The meat on the sandwich is traditionally served rare, thin cut, with the top bun getting a dip in jus and spread with horseradish."

Other popular New York sammies include meatball, Reuben, pastrami on rye, chopped cheese, and egg salad. When it comes to popular sandwich shops, one in the state stands out above the rest.
