The East Village has been many things: punk rock, hardcore, gangster, folk, anti-folk, Nuyorican, experimental, beat, post-modern, Warholian. It even hit Broadway in Rent. Today, developers are trying to move in but locals are fighting to hold their ground in Alphabet City.

When there is always a lunch line it’s a good sign.

If Pho isn’t your thing, they have a long list of delicious sandwich options to choose from.
