What makes the perfect sandwich? It's an argument as old as the chicken or the egg. Is it the perfectly toasted crusty bread? The snap of fresh veggies paired with tender just-roasted meats? The warm embrace of crispy bacon? Or the made-in-house aioli spreads and mustards?
The possibilities of sandwich goodness are endless with everything from herby tuna salad to Thai inspired fried chicken (Benny's Brown Bag in Peekskill) to the ooey gooey goodness of melted mozz with chicken cutlet, vodka sauce and toasted garlic bread (Harrison's Casa D'italia Sandwich Shoppe) to Italian meats packed inside schiacciata, a Tuscan-style focaccia (Apposto in Mamaroneck).
Whether you like yours stacked, stuffed, wrapped, pressed or grilled, there's a combo with
your name on it. What follows is a sampling of wow-worthy spots known for their style and substance in Westchester and Rockland. Plus, stay tuned for Mona's Sandwich Shop, coming soon to Chappaqua as well as Compton's in Tarrytown.
