Thanks for detailing the vegetarian options! A lot of NYC restaurants have options to vegetarianize dishes whereas others are incredibly strict about not altering their menu. It’s really helpful to hear the details as part of a review! These sandwiches sound delicious – can’t wait to try it out.

Wich,
You’re correct about your first point. But don’t retort on your criticism of the sandwiches, stick to your guns, sandwich man!

I’ve never heard of Rosaio’s, where is it? what are they known for? I’m definitely down for an eating expedition if you’re looking for company.

I have been to Crosby Connection (review) but I’m not sure where they are now. Last I hear they had set up shop in the Bleecker Street Theatre on Bleecker just east of Lafayette. I found a number on Eater.com you can call to try and find out the latest: 212-677-8444

I try to tone down the roach-repulsion aspect because, hell, it’s new york and all but the best places have rodent and insect problems. The sandwiches were pretty good and I guess I just am a sucker for drama.

I’m eyeballing a trip to Rosaio’s Deli in queens after hearing strong feelings about it a few times. Have you been to Crosby Connection? I keep visiting only to find it closed. Does it ever open?

PepperMan,
Where you been PepperMan?!
Tiny’s is definitely a classic NY sandwich shop but in a more LES sense. You wouldn’t find many vegetarian options at a deli in Little Italy. The grilled chicken sandwich I ate was AWESOME. I’m looking forward to going back.

sweet212,
The cobb sandwich?

wich man,
If it really IS a roach, why would you go back. I’m a fan of yours wich man, but how do we really know that’s a roach? Either way, the sandwiches can’t be that underwhelming if you saw a bug and would still go back, out of the way or not. Where’s the most exceptional sandwich you’ve had lately?

Dave,
Wow, thats quite an ode to Tiny’s. I agree, the flavor of the ingredients at Tiny’s always pops. I wouldnt be able to say its the best in the city, still too much to conquer. What else ranks up there for you?

Tinys is hands down the best sandwich cafe in the city. I wish more places threw down with such excellence. No matter why you eat, your taste buds will explode with a joy that will force you to come back again and again.

Tiny’s sandwiches are good, but not exceptional. I found their menu fun, but the sandwiches a little underwhelming. Also, when I was there I saw a roach running around… and accidentally caught it on camera! Check it: http://www.simplysandwiches.net/2008/01/14/tinys-average-roach-revenge/

I’d go back, but wouldn’t go out of my way for a visit…
