No. 7 Sub

Sandwiches like tofu with pickled rhubarb, peas and roasted garlic (the General Tso's Tofu sub) sound so outlandish, you half wonder if the chefs at No. 7 Sub threw the ingredients into a hat and plucked out combinations at random. But the tatted, kerchief-sporting crew there actually does possess an unerring sense of surprises that go together. The bothersome line at lunch at the Manhattan location (the original is in Brooklyn) doesn't let up from 11:30am to 2:30pm, confirming that the masses have drunk the Kool-Aid or, in this little marvel's case, the citrusy berry-lime rickey. Change is another constant at No. 7—the menu now includes breakfast sandwiches (from 8am to 10:30am, there's no wait at all!). Pillowy soft-roasted pork loin with scrambled eggs, fontina and a kiss of hot-sweet blueberry sriracha is especially genius.
