Iconic Sandwiches You Should Try The Next Time You Visit NYC

Faicco's "The Italian Special" is made with sliced prosciutto, capicola, soppressata, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, roasted pepper, oil, and red wine vinegar.

All of this is nestled in a crusty sesame loaf. Drawing visitors from across the city and beyond, the sandwich is gigantic, fresh, phenomenal, and consistent each time you show up.

Katz's has been reliably serving up some of the best old-school Jewish deli sandwiches in New York City since 1888, but the star here is its pastrami on rye.

The sandwich is inelegantly described as a massive tower of meat. The line at Katz is long, going all the way down Houston Street, but the sandwiches are truly worth it.

Also called the "Sandwich kings of Astoria," Sal, Kris, and Charlie's Deli is a frequent mention on best-of lists, and its iconic go-to order is "The Bomb."

It's made with a mix of cold cuts including salami, ham, roast beef, turkey, and pepperoni. Then, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, peppers, and mayo and mustard are added.

Russ & Daughters is a classic Jewish spot that's been around for a long time. Its focus is on bagels and fixings — lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, and capers.

There may be arguably better bagels in the city, but the experience, quality, and history is what makes eating a sandwich at Russ & Daughter's really special.

Sunny and Annies' iconic offering, The Pho 1, features roast beef, avocado, tomato, bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, red onion, hoisin sauce, and sriracha on a roll.

It's rich, spicy, crunchy, comforting, and hits the spot. While the Pho 1 is well-known, there are also other variations of this sandwich, along with a host of other sandwiches.
