No. 7 Sub

No. 7 chef Tyler Kord continues his ballsy cross-cultural pairings at this sandwich shop on the ground floor of the Ace Hotel. Brie with plantain chips, pulled pork with feta, bologna with Chinese mustard—trust him, it works. You can't sit down—there's nowhere to do it—but you can people watch from the line that's usually out the door come lunch time.

What to order: Broccoli sub (with lychee much, ricotta salata, and pine nuts) $9

No. 7 Sub, 1188 Broadway (between 28th and 29th Streets); 212-532-1680.
