Ristorante con specialità gnocchi asiatici · Chinatown · 101 consigli e recensioni

2. Tehuitzingo Deli

695 10th Ave (btwn W 47th & W 48th St), New York, NY
Ristorante di taco · Hell's Kitchen · 124 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: The torta de pollo is a sizable lunch for just $6--there's a little bit of creaminess in the background that blends well with the flavorful shredded chicken.

3. Desi Galli

7.7
101 Lexington Ave (btwn E 27th & E 28th St), New York, NY
Ristorante indiano · Rose Hill · 56 consigli e recensioni

Negozio di specialità gastronomiche · Little Italy · 74 consigli e recensioni

129 Rivington St (btwn Essex & Norfolk St), New York, NY
Paninoteca · Lower East Side · 163 consigli e recensioni

6. Rainbo's Fish

120 Essex St (Delancy), New York, NY
Ristorante di pesce · Lower East Side · 3 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: In addition to fresh fish, Rainbo's also makes some cheap and very filling sandwiches. There's always salmon on the menu, and grouper, flounder, or tilapia also make frequent appearances.

7. Rocket Joe's

61 Delancey St (btw Eldridge and Allen), New York, NY
Pizzeria · Lower East Side · 20 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Skip the bad slices for the the messy meatball hero, which at $5 for 12 inches of sandwich is one of the cheapest eats on the Lower East Side.

8. Bereket Turkish Kebab House

187 E Houston St (at Orchard), New York, NY
Ristorante Kebab · Lower East Side · 54 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Kebabs can be dry here at this barebones late night spot, but we're fans of the oily-satisfying fried eggplant sandwich.

9. Souvlaki GR

8.7
116 Stanton St (btwn Essex & Ludlow St.), New York, NY
Ristorante greco · Lower East Side · 199 consigli e recensioni

12. Biryani Cart

8.0
W 46th St (at 6th Ave), New York, NY
Furgone gastronomia · 60 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: The Spicy Buradi comes with either chicken or lamb, but we endorse the latter, which stands up well against the not-too-spicy mint-habanero sauce that moistens the wrap sandwich.

13. Uni One Gourmet Deli

3153 Broadway, New York, NY
Gastronomia · West Harlem · 2 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: The Chopped Cheese at Uni One strays from the Philly cheesesteak formula when rather than just topping with pickled peppers, they add a whole slew of 'em directly to the griddle.

14. Ba'al Cafe

8.7
71 Sullivan St (btwn Spring and Broome), New York, NY
Ristorante con specialità Falafel · SoHo · 67 consigli e recensioni

1113 Lexington Ave (btwn 77th and 78th St), New York, NY
Ristorante greco · Upper East Side · 37 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Mama Gyro's Mama Sauce is eerily similar to McDonald's beloved Special Sauce. Slather it on any one of their cheap and tasty pita wraps. Our favorite is the Pork Souvlaki Pita.

19. Patacon Pisao

8.2
431 W 202nd St, New York, NY
Ristorante venezuelano · Inwood · 8 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Hefty plantains are smashed, fried twiced to get extra crispy, then used as the sandwich "bread" for a variety of fillings. We recommend the fried cheese version, deliciously salty and meaty

8.6
1337 Fulton St (Macon St.), Brooklyn, NY

25. Kulushkat

446 Dean St Ste C (btwn 5th Ave & Flatbush), Brooklyn, NY
Ristorante con specialità Falafel · North Slope · 48 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Eggplant: Incredibly, deliciously, oily—a garlicky, acidic marinade that adds flavor to everything it touches, seeping into the eggplant, bleeding into the hummus, further dressing the Israeli salad. Leggi tutto.

26. Artopolis Bakery

23-18 31st St #7 (btwn 23rd Rd. & 23rd Ave.), Astoria, NY
Panetteria · 36 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Halloumopita is made with yeasted dough that holds bits of sweet onions and chunks of chewy, salty halloumi--not quite a sandwich under typical definitions, but we'll let it pass.

27. Cedars Meat House

4108 30th Ave, Astoria, NY
Ristorante medio orientale · 9 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Cedars is a meat house proper, not just a shawarma joint, so you can get your pita filled with a variety of meats, but our money's still on the beef shawarma.

Duzan is one of 30 Sandwiches for Under $6 in NYC.

28. Duzan

30. The Queens Kickshaw

4017 Broadway (at Steinway St), Astoria, NY
Bar Caffè · 233 consigli e recensioni

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Here the classic Egg and Cheese gets a substantial upgrade. Egg and cheese is filled with a lush dollop of creamy ricotta, and sandwiched between thick slices of cheese-crusted Balthazar brioche.
