Boi Sandwich Shop

Pretty dang tasty if ya ask me. This here was my lunch today. It's a Veggie Banh Mi and though it was rather good I still haven't had a banh mi in NYC or Brooklyn that rivals the ones I used to get from Dalat Subs in Raleigh, North Carolina. My favorite banh mi place in New York (so far) is Silent H over in Williamsburg. I thought it would be really great to find a place in midtown where I could get one during my lunch hour since the 'burg is a bit of a trek.

I read some great reviews of Boi on the Midtown Lunch website so I headed on over. And since I usually dine on the 'ol standard pb&j for lunch, this was quite a treat. So here it is... meet my lunch:

(Say 'hi' mister sammie!)

The ingredients were all fresh and tasty. The bread was a bit much and I like more of a french baguette that's all crispy but that might be nitpicky. I asked for it spicy but wouldnt say it was all that spicy. I think the guy from midtown lunch mentioned the same things. I really wanted to get a meat banh mi while I was there but since I'm having meat for dinner I didn't want to overdo it.

The sammie was a tad messy and the avocado kept falling all over the place but always think that's a good sign. It means they stuffed it full and I'm getting my moneys worth. Speaking of which, it was not a cheap sammie.... $8 and some change. But, hey, I'm worth it.
