Bánh Anh Em

The Best Restaurants Near Union Square - New York - The Infatuation

"In the evening, lines of people crowd around Bánh Anh Em on Third Ave. for some of the city’s best bánh mì—freshly baked baguettes that come out steaming from an oven downstairs. You could skip the line and get The OG, with three different kinds of housemade cold cuts, for a highly overachieving takeout lunch in Union Square. But it’s also worth the hassle of walking in for dinner, because there’s so much more to explore. Like chả cá lã vọng: juicy, turmeric-marinated catfish seared tableside with a big handful each of dill and scallions. Or the roll-your-own rice roll tower, which comes with grilled pork jowl, sausage, raw mango, pickled mustard greens and more, and is a fun dinner-time activity for a group of friends." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren, will hartman
