One Banh Mi, Two Banh Mi
I thought we were lucky getting one banh mi place in the neighborhood with Hanco’s at 85 Bergen right by Smith Street. Now, it looks like East Village Nicky’s Vietnamese Sandwich Shop is opening an outpost at 311 Atlantic, between Smith Street and Hoyt Street. There’s no phone number yet, and I haven’t heard an exact open date, but, damn, two places to get these delicious sandwiches in the neighborhood is quite exciting. Plan on an ABL banh mi face-off when Nicky’s opens.

interesting! my favorite banh mi place is of course in china town at this dumpy little shop on grand with this lil’ ole vietnamise lady who i adore, which by the way also sells/rents movies, she makes them right in front of you catering to your every taste (extra jalepenos please!) for $2! this is why i haven’t gone to Nicky’s, i’d be cheatin’ straight up cheatin’ and that aight right. so yummy, power to the banh mi!
whoah two dollars–grand and what? i gotta check that out
My husband went in there the other day – said it looked interesting. He can’t stop raving about it.
