Bánh Mì Place
Banh Mi sandwiches are unquestionably a cheap-eating secret when it comes to the best cheap eats in NYC. The traditional paté, grilled chicken, pork, and even vegetarian options can all be stuffed to the brim into these enormous baguettes. There are options all over the city, but Brooklyn's Banh Mi Place by Prospect Park is a hidden gem.
It’s hard to find a better stateside version of the Vietnamese sandwich than Banh Mi Place’s classic, which arrives on a crisp baguette smeared with mayo and butter and layered with exactly the right amount of roasted ground pork, Vietnamese ham and pate: not overstuffed, not stingy. Their spicy sandwiches offer the perfect balance of heat, and the crispy baguettes make this humble sandwich taste practically gourmet.
The cucumber, pickled carrot and cilantro make each bite of your sandwich perfectly sweet and sour, salty and meaty – everything you’d want from a banh mi. You can also find chicken and seafood versions here, and vegetarians get an impressive roster of meatless adaptations.
