"This top-tier sandwich shop probably doesn’t need an introduction, but here’s one anyway (it’s literally our job). Named after NPR personalities, the sandwiches at Wax Paper marry the distinct worlds of “stuff between sliced bread” and “listener-supported public radio” to create inventive original subs like the Larry Mantle, which comes with herb bologna, pickled peppers, and a snowcap-like covering of grated pecorino pepato, or the Ophira Eisenberg, a sweet-and-salty ’wich made with black forest ham, shaved green onions, and a honey-walnut aioli so good, we need an entire season of Serial to investigate it. Available for takeout and delivery." - brant cox, kat hong
