I just gave it an excellent rating for the current Zagats survey. I haven't eaten there :oops:

but DH has, 3x, and raved each time, so that was all I needed to place my vote.

Hi,

Mark Bittman on No. 7 Sub vegetarian sandwiches.

"The New Vegetarian Sandwich?
08|12|10

Staff lunch from No. 7 Sub in Manhattan: General Tso's Tofu with seaweed and pickles, Eggplant Parm with fontina, yellow squash, pickled jalapenos and BBQ potato chips (on the sub), Zucchini Cubano with smoked gouda, peaches and pickled daikon, and an fBLT (the "f" stands for fake, presumably), with soy bacon, lettuce, green and red tomatoes. We love the innovative vegetarian sandwiches (they make meaty subs as well). Some are better than others: the seaweed on the fried General Tso's Tofu is a knockout, the BBQ potato chips on the Eggplant Parm are a nice, crunchy touch, the soy bacon... not that good. Either way, we're happy to get a break from mozzarella with roasted red peppers."

Tim,

Gah, now I have to go. Long drive, though.

If you attempt the long drive please let us on the right coast know about it in advance. That will be one helluva partay!!!

Minor mention of No.7 Sub in Bittman's blog last week (about halfway down the page).

Looks like more to come soon...

Quote:

Lunch: when you have bread, you eat it. Inspired by No. 7 Sub, a sub shop in the Ace Hotel in Manhattan, which I will be writing about for the Dining section before too long, I decided to make a kooky sandwich. I had some pressed tofu in the freezer; truth be told, it’s been there for months. Maybe since winter. So I defrosted that, and cut a couple of pads in half, through their equators, to make tofu cutlets, very skinny; there were six or eight when I finished. I browned them in oil; then I browned a thick eggplant slice and a thick slice of onion. Also, I browned some halved cherry tomatoes, but decided that was overkill. So lunch was a sandwich of tofu/eggplant/onion on my homemade rye, and that was delicious, crisp and tasty. A side of cauliflower and cooked tomatoes. Dessert: a banana.

No. 7 Sub is getting some nice notice:

The New York Times included No. 7 Sub in a list of 14 best casual restaurants review in 2010. Link to NYT article

"Visit this takeout shop for subs stuffed with ceviche or broccoli; roast beef layered with pickled blueberries; or lamb with peanut butter, all with extras like candied wasabi, papadums, fried lemon or fermented soybean paste. Results, for the most part, are exhilaratingly delicious. (Ligaya Mishan) 1188 Broadway (29th Street); (212) 532-1680, no7sub.com."
Serious Eats included No7 Sub in a poll of the Favorite Sandwich Shops on NYC. Link to Serious Eats

Tim, who just got back from the 2010 Blizzard in NYC and really likes No. 7's Pineapple Chile Soda!

Damn, I need to make it to New York sometime soon ...

So do I Josh. I was there in October, but it was a jam-packed trip (for a wedding), and I didn't get to go do most of what I wanted, including a meal at No. 7. Must do that soon.

You must be very proud Tim.

I wanted to go when we were there too but was with my fussy daughter so didn't want to waste the money. Next time I'm ditching her.
