Edith’s Sandwich Counter

Elyssa Heller’s ‘Grub Street Diet’

"Opened in 2021 after starting as a pandemic pop-up, this Greenpoint shop is a personal, modern homage to classic New York appetizing counters and is run obsessively by its owner. Menu standouts include a frequently ordered chickpea-crunch wrap, a well-trimmed tuna melt served with multiple pickle spears, toasted Chicago-style everything bagels with plain cream cheese, and house-made latkes (with a strict policy that sandwiches that come with a latke cannot be ordered without one). Weekends are especially busy and the owner is deeply involved in daily service and kitchen oversight." - Gaby Grossman, Ryan Inzana
