Time to share another NYC sandwich!
What is it? P.H.O. #1
Where is it from? Sunny and Annie's, 94 Avenue B. www.sunnyandannies.com
How much does it cost? $7.49 + tax.
What's in it? Roast beef, bean sprouts, avocado, tomato, onion, basil, cilantro, hoisin sauce, sriracha chili sauce on a hard/kaiser roll.
Sunny and Annie's looks like a typical NYC bodega/deli but they have a spectacular selection of inventive and inexpensive sandwiches. P.H.O. #1 is the sandwich they are famed for and it is truly delicious!
P.H.O. #1 takes the components of Vietnamese Pho and serves them up in a sandwich form. It comes either hot or cold (I have it hot and I skip the avocado as I have an allergy to it - yep, I have totally missed out on the whole avocado toast thing...) and there's also a P.H.O. #2 that has chicken and bacon in place of the beef. Order your sandwich at the counter and it is made to order, service is fast, those counter men are pros!
I'm a huge fan of asian sandwiches and this sandwich is a great alternative to a Bahn Mi when I fancy a change. The ingredients in the sandwich all go together to make a sandwich that is flavouful and well balanced. There is a touch of spice but overall it simply tastes very fresh.
It is a good sized sandwich that is filling yet not overly large.
Sunny and Annie's is a store not a restaurant so there isn't any seating but it is only a couple of blocks from Tompkin's Square Park (which BTW is my favourite city park) so why not stop by and pick up sandwiches, drinks, and snacks for a simple picnic? They are also open 24/7 so if you are craving a great sandwich at any time of the day or night you know where to head to!
