Virgil’s Makes the Best Sandwich in Midtown!?
Fork in the Road released their 10 Best Sandwiches in New York list, and unsurprisingly none of them are in Midtown. But we did score two in the “runners up” list: ‘wichcraft’s white anchovy, soft-cooked egg, salsa verde, and frisee (whatever, it’s a chain), and Virgil’s Owensboro lamb sandwich (on 44th btw. B’way+6th). At $14 the lamb sandwich is way out of the ML price range, but call us intrigued. Anybody had this thing yet? And would you chose it over the Sophie’s Cuban fried pork and plantains sandwich? And what about all of Certe’s Sandwiches (on 55th btw. 5+6th)? Or Ma Peche’s pork banh mi? What Midtown sandwich do you think should have been on the list? Or were they right in snubbing us…

Okay, Virgil’s Owensboro Lamb sandwich is a damn good sandwich. Considering I’d gladly pay the price for Katz’s Pastrami, I guess I can’t complain about the price for the virgils sandwich. It’s like a good smoked brisket, only with that lamby-gamy taste to it. Fantastically moist and smokey. I’d gladly have it again.
sophie’s is greasy…taste’s a little wierd too, but i dont know where else to get a cuban around here, so i sacrifice.
I think Toasties deserves a spot on that list.
