We love to come here for some of the best (and biggest) breakfast sandwiches in the city. Get the Jeff, or if you're not a fan of their amazing Portuguese pancetta, get the Pavia, which is also great!

As a Portuguese person I was quite surprised to find Portuguese options in the menu. Alheira, morcela, linguiça. Nice surprise and great sandwich

Really nice crusty torpedo style bread with generous sandwich toppings. For vegetarians recommend: Altan sandwich. Nice assortment of healthy drinks and snacks as well.
Alan SchusterMarch 28, 2016
Ingredients are fresh the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! The owner is usually around and takes great pride in his establishment.

The proprietor is amazingly friendly and will extensively explain all the sandwiches on offer. Expect to have your mind changed several times and end up with something that you wouldn't normally try!

The bread is light and crunchy and the service is incredible. After explaining the menu I was able to make a choice for a tasty breakfast sandwich. Ended up walking away with a surprise cookie!

This place is a gem. The food is great and the staff are always welcoming. Try the Jeff sandwich. Or my friend Todd recommends the Todd sandwich too.

Satisfying sandwiches (for breakfast, lunch, or dinner) on crisp, crusty bread with various filling options, including Portuguese cured meats.

Crisp, airy baguettes sourced from a Portuguese bakery in New Jersey take City Sandwich's already-delicious offerings to the next level.

Try the Dave, a baguette stuffed with Italian sausage, fresh tomato, diced broccoli rabe, house-made piri-piri sauce & a layer of melted mozzarella. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. Read more

So good! Ranking what I've tried from favorite to least favorite: Franco, Rob, Salvatore, James, Gary & Phil, LGBT (I dislike goat cheese). I need to try: Dave and Henrique

delicious and unexpected. Just the right crunch on the bread, meatballs with a bit of pinache, and tasty surroundings. Yeah, I'll be back,

Great original sandwiches with lots of options to choose from. Staff is great, the bread is even more amazing!

Choose Dave. It's big but it's so good and you find yourself finishing it so quick.

Delicous Fatima Sandwich ( Portugeuse Octopus). Bread is really fresh and light. Their Panna Cotta is really smooth and yummy too.

One of our favorite places to grab a quick sandwich. Interesting and delicious options, all on incredible bread. Dock a bike across the street at 9 Ave & W 45 St

The "Nuno" is the one to try ($9.95). "It’s an inspired concoction of blood sausage, broccoli rabe, mozzarella and fixins, scrunched between City Sandwich’s superbly crusty and fresh sandwich rolls." Read more

The simple name belies the delicious and unique food supplied within. These Italian-Portuguese sandwiches are a delight, as is the friendly staff. Best food I've encountered in the area.
Christine ArboledaAugust 25, 2013
The Nuno with blood sausage is rich and tasty the Dave is spicy and delicious. The bread is crunchy and fresh.

Known normally for lunch, these guys make excellent breakfast sandwiches too, and in affordable half-sizes. Pick: the omelet+sausage+mozz+cabbage Marco, which is reminiscent of a sausage & peppers.
Andrew KMay 29, 2015
In few words: Tasty sandwiches! It's not the best in the world. But quite tasty. Worth to visit. At least ones during your stay in NYC.
Marlene EngelNovember 23, 2014
I had "the James" and my date had "the Dave". Both very flavorful satisfying sandwiches. Reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Good service
Christine AsdourianMarch 12, 2014
This place is a true gem! Delicious fresh sandwiches and salads, friendly service and amazing deserts: Pastels and panna cotta. Awesome!
Esther MoonOctober 4, 2012
The James and the Franco are awesome! The bread is fantastic crusty and soft at the same time! And you the panna cotta may be one of the best in the city!!
A SNovember 28, 2012
Good and interesting sandwiches, very helpful and welcoming service. Talk with Michael, the owner, and you can tell he loves his job. Try the panna cotta dessert.

Top sandwich spot in NYC: try the Henrique and the Franco - nothing like it anywhere. Soups are excellent. Carb free option for the anorexics. Don't forget the exquisite Panna Cotta!
Michelle WilesAugust 16, 2016
I got the Sofia without meat and it was huge and delicious
Nicolette DekensMarch 14, 2012
Excellent service! I had the Altan: fresh mozzarella, , tomato and lettuce: it was perfect exactly right for a warm day! They offer coffee for free which I think is nice!
Elizabeth LeeOctober 13, 2016
Love their soft Portuguese breads and meats. Everything on the menu is good to eat!
Jorge SierraJuly 6, 2011
If you are looking for a sandwich overstuffed with Meat and other toppings, this is not your place...."gourmet" sandwiches ONLY and they are legit....try the Henrique, you wont be disappointed!
Margot WitJuly 26, 2013

Great staff, delicious food, nice place, with all the bases covered, what are you waiting for?
Nigar DvlcJuly 17, 2018
The bread used for the sandwiches were really good, but our sandwiches were okay. We had chicken and roast beef, but I think they’re pork products are their specialty. Not bad overall.
Gabriela DiasAugust 1, 2012
Only in America can ingredients like alheira and blood sausage be marketed as healthy... Bread is amazing, tough! (nobody bakes them like the Portuguese)
