1. Amy’s Bread
Opened since 1992, this Hell’s Kitchen staple (672 9th Ave.) delivers exactly what it says on
the tin: bread, pastries, sourdough, croissants, muffins, cheesecake and cake. The long, nar-
row room is dark and cool, with a mosaic tiled floor, painted wood paneling and exposed brick.
It’s very New York and definitely worth s kipping Starbucks for. I enjoyed a deliciously chewy,
long and thin, chocolate sourdough bread roll. amysbread.com
2. City Sandwich
A small, Portuguese-inspired sandwich shop (649 9th Ave.) that uses meats and cheeses
from neighboring suppliers. The freshly made bread is made from Portuguese flour.
All the sandwiches are named after people, and I can personally vouch for the ‘Rob’: pan-
seared smoked ham, sautéed kale and onions, garlic, melted mozzarella and balsamic mus-
tard ($9.95). There’s also a special ‘LGBT’ sandwich with Linguica spread, Goat cheese,
Bacon, Tomato, sautéed onions and seasonal lettuce. citysandwichnyc.com
