Shopsin's Sandwiches ·$$

Shopsin's General Store is actually a restaurant. It has an extensive menu that lists hundreds of soups, sandwiches and other items, in addition to a blackboard full of daily specials. It is full of booths and offers a counter area too. The staff and regulars have a bit of an attitude, but that is part of what makes people like it. This small little diner is very popular, so get there early or be prepared to wait.

You're in Essex Market, looking for a nice sammy before the movie upstairs, and where do you go? Shopsin's, of course. I mean, is there any question? Fresh food with delightful crusty bread,...
