A Sando We've Been Waiting For
New York magazine
|Jul 31 - Aug 13, 2023
This katsu is back, 18 months after it disappeared.
The sign is easy to miss: best katsu sando on earth is handwritten above a small drawing of a ringed planet. It hangs from a horseshoe on a wall that’s mostly hidden from view in the back of The Izakaya NYC on 4th (215 E. 4th St., nr. Ave. B; theizakaya.nyc). Still, the sandwich tends to sell out. There are 20 available each night, beginning at 6 p.m., and its fans show up early.
