While it may feel like August in Abu Dhabi, it's still spring in Soho, which means it's time for somewhat lighter lunches. Here are some great sandwiches and sides to get you through the heat. Eat these indoors by the window to enjoy the views, and when the temp goes back down find some public space to sit back and relax before you head back to office or your next client meeting.
I don't know what they do to their turkey breast at Torrisi Italian Specialties, but it makes an amazing sandwich with their special sauce, lettuce and tomato. Get it as a small round roll and go with a side of their awesome spicy rabe ($4).
Bread has a great selection of sandwiches ($11 for most) that comes with a side salad. I'm a big fan of the shrimp with arugula, avocado and salsa rosa on big ciabatta. They also have a great soup and half sandwich lunch special for $11 and have chilled soups likes gazpacho. Of special note: not only is the waitstaff at Bread comprised of beautiful women, but more importantly some of the most personable as well.
As great as their Cuban is, I've become a big fan of Cafe Habana's "Sloppy Jose" comprised of spicy barbcue pulled pork, served with black beans, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo. It's a bit on the caliente side, but muy bueno. Now as for sides, do I really need to tell anyone about the corn ($4.25)? I think every guidebook lists it. Oh, they do offer serious competition for best looking and personable ladies of lunch.
I'm going to give the "Hunter's pb & chocolate Genius combo award" to Snack for their Roasted chicken with tomatoes, roasted red onions, arugula, and fresh mint topped with....drum roll please... spicy mint lemonaise on stirato bread ($10). The award is for the use of the dressing and as a leafy green. I love me the mint. For the side, go with one of their great spreads ($5).
This is not you clown's fillet o' fish sandwich. Just north of SoHo, Pinche Taqueria's Torta's ($6.95 + $2 or $3 for the fish) are great and their fish on a fresh baked Mexican sandwich roll with lettuce, onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, guacamole, beans, cheese and special Mexican mayonnaise are yummy. Go with their tasty Yuca Fries and dip them in homemade cilantro mayonnaise and roasted jalapeno ketchup.
