No. 7 Sub is an offshoot of a restaurant in Fort Greene called No. 7, which is a more traditional restaurant. No. 7 Sub, which is located in an odd spot (more about this in a second), is just a sandwich shop, and located in Manhattan. Its address is the same as the Ace Hotel, and it was advertised as being in the lobby of the hotel. I got off the subway and started walking to the corner to enter the hotel, but as I was walking, I glanced a place on the street that looked like a trendy sandwich shop. Before I got to the corner, I realized the likelihood of two trendy sandwich shops within a fifty-foot radius of each other was unlikely, and walked back to discover that indeed, it was No. 7 Sub. So yeah, NOT in the lobby of the Ace Hotel.
Anyhow, the place itself was tiny, and the employees seemed both hipster and WAY too enthusiastic about their job; they were joking with each other and had big smiles on the whole time. It was honestly surreal. But I got my sandwich quickly, and took it back to the office:
Not the most attractive sandwich of all time, but it was pretty tasty. The eggplant was deep fried, and the parmesan cheese was melted and delicious. There were also barbecue chips inside of the sandwich, which gave it a nice crunch and added flavor. The bread was also really good and crisp. Overall, not a very memorable sandwich, but solid all around. It was somewhat expensive ($9) but it was large and tasty. 3.6 out of 5.
