Since I've lived in NYC my whole life and pretty much eat a sandwich every day for lunch, I thought I'd start reviewing some of the best I've eaten and new ones that I've tried. Feel free to argue any of the choices I've made or convince me of others. Follow me at leematthewgoldberg.com

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL AT PICCOLO CAFE
An oasis amongst chain sandwich shops, the Piccolo Cafe in Midtown serves quality imported food from Italy. Walking inside is like entering a tiny sandwich shop in Florence. The chicken schnitzel with lettuce, marinated cherry tomatoes, and a paprika mayo is a fine example of what they do best. The focaccia bread is freshly baked, the chicken is breaded to a crisp, and the paprika mayo gives a sandwich a nice spicy kick that couples well with the saltiness of the marinated cherry tomatoes. For $10.00 you'd practically pay the same thing at Cosi, Pax, or Europa to get the same sandwich you've eaten a thousand times before. The cafe has sister locations in the Gramercy area and Hell's Kitchen as well. Check 'em out, but be forewarned because there's only a few seats and the place usually has a line out the door, so it's best to get your lunch there to go.
