Restaurants have all sorts of creative ways to cover up the big yellow sticker that lets people know their establishment has been closed by the DOH. But using Twitter to preemptively alert your customers that you will be “closing for the holidays” is a new one. Yesterday, we thought that maybe Mantao Chinese Sandwiches (which [...]

Today through Friday you can get 20% off your order at Mantao Chinese Sandwiches just by saying the code word “Ramones” from 3pm to 6pm. I can’t wait that long for lunch, but a mantao would make an excellent late afternoon snack. Might as well save a buck…

It’s been exactly a month since Mantao Chinese Sandwiches opened up on 53rd btw. 2+3rd. I never got a chance to go to Province Chinese Canteen, its original Tribeca incarnation, but I had always heard good enough things that their move to Midtown got me pretty excited. Plus, I like Chinese food… and I like [...]

They also have free delivery now all the way to 7th Ave. (btw. 40th and 70th streets.) 235 East 53rd Street (btw. 2+3rd), 212-888-2490; website

The Serious Eats New York crew hit up the newly opened Mantao Chinese Sandwiches (on 53rd btw. 2+3rd) the other day and posted a pretty comprehensive (and attractive, thanks to the photos of Robyn Lee) look at their offerings:
The sandwiches range from $2.50 to $4.50. They’re dainty things—you’d probably want two for a meal, although [...]

It looks like Friday was a just a test run with a limited menu at the new Mantao Chinese Sandwiches (on 53rd btw. 2+3rd). Today is their “Official Soft Opening” (which I’m guessing is code for “don’t blame us if everything isn’t perfect”.) It opens at 11:30am and, you didn’t hear this from me but, [...]

Got this message in the old ML Inbox this morning from Lunch’er Mark:
“A sign in the window of Mantou (on 53rd btw. 2+3rd) says they will be open “the week of July 13″. The menu is intriguing–a combo box is $9.95 and comes with choice of two sandwiches, green salad and shrimp chips. The sandwiches [...]

It looks like Province Chinese Canteen, the little Tribeca mantou shop that closed at the end of last year, will be reopening soon on 53rd Street btw. 2+3rd under the new name “Mantao Chinese Sandwiches”. I’m all for little Chinese sandwiches, although according to a comment on Yelp, the original owners “’sold’ the business to [...]
