"East Coast transplants rejoice: New York-style subs are within reach in the Financial District and North Beach. Gambino’s is a to-go focused spot dedicated entirely to Empire State sandwiches. Aside from the usual suspects, like bacon, egg, and cheese bagels and loaded cheesesteaks, they also serve an excellent chicken caesar wrap. Their version spends enough time on the grill to look spray-tanned. And the pieces of lettuce, chicken, and croutons are evenly chopped with the precision of a Cold Stone Creamery mixer. Any time you’re downtown-ish and in need of an on-the-move lunch, this is your spot." - Julia Chen
