Ho Chi Minh City, are you there? With its Saigon-style street-stall vibe (indoor-outdoor storefront, 70s ceiling fan, fire engine red XXL menu, sunbaked terrace), this half-coffee shop, half-sandwich shop from Anh Dao Nguyen and Emile Duchemin brings a little slice of Vietnam to town! While he (ex-La Mercerie pastry chef) mans the register, she (who caught our eye during her time at Livingston) turns out addictive bánh mì made on baguettes that are crunchy and squishy in all the right places. And because good things always come in threes, the sandwiches are best paired with a swirl of ice cream and specialty cà phê, loaded with condensed milk and salted cream. · Artie Show
