Postcard

"After over a decade living in New York, there are few things I will stand in line for at this point—but a few weeks ago, I discovered that an egg salad sando ($9) from Postcard is apparently one of them. From the same team behind its neighbor Nami Nori, this shoebox-sized spot in the West Village serves a small menu of Japanese sandwiches and pastries from inside a cutesy, Wes Anderson-ified space (think block colors of red and yellow, and wallpaper featuring ginkgo leaves) that has Tik Tokers waiting down the block for its light-as-air, gluten-free sandwiches. We ordered a spread that included the aforementioned egg salad, which was simultaneously fluffy yet rich, as well as a chicken katsu ($14) that left me yearning for more (okay, I was really hungry, but I do think it should be bigger), and an array of fruit fillings like strawberry, grape, and orange ($9). Pair it all with a strawberry milky featuring an extra shot of matcha and brown sugar boba ($11.50)—IFYKYK." - Lale Arikoglu
