Sandwell: Healthy-ish Sandwiches on the Upper West Side

Introducing Sandwell

• 💡 Sandwell is a modern sandwich shop on the Upper West Side, inspired by old-school New York delis.
• 🎯 Their concept of "healthyish" aims to find a balance between satisfying cravings and avoiding post-meal sluggishness.
• 🔑 The shop focuses on creating delicious, flavor-driven sandwiches without being overly heavy or relying solely on lettuce wraps.

Crafting the Perfect Sandwich

• 🍞 Great bread is fundamental, with Sandwell making their own fresh in-house daily.
• 🌶️ The buffalo chicken sandwich is a signature item, featuring a unique buffalo sauce made with coconut milk and avocado ranch with oat milk for a rich flavor without heaviness.
• 🍄 The mushroom cheese steak offers a vegetarian take on a classic, marinating mushrooms in bini powder, roasting them, and tossing them in truffle dressing, topped with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and provolone.
• 🍖 The turkey meatball sub is a top seller, with meatballs roasted and braised for hours, finished with basil oil, parmesan, and arugula.
• 🐔 The chicken parm sub, initially a staff creation, has become a menu staple, made with house marinara, chicken cutlet, whipped burrata, basil oil, and parmesan.
