15 Great Sandwiches to Try in NYC for National Sandwich Month
One of the newer names on New York’s sandwich scene, Sandwell takes a “healthyish” approach without sacrificing the things that make a great sandwich worth eating. Founder and chef Andy Gottlieb opened the original Upper West Side shop in 2023 and has since expanded to Gramercy Park and SoHo. Bread is baked in-house daily after the dough cold-proofs for more than 24 hours, burrata is whipped by hand, sauces are made from scratch and proteins are baked rather than fried. It all started with Gottlieb’s Sunday-dinner-inspired turkey meatball, braised in house-made marinara.

Who founded Sandwell and what is the story behind it? Sandwell was founded in 2023 by Andy Gottlieb, a French Culinary Institute-trained chef and restaurateur with over 20 years in NYC's hospitality industry. Andy opened Sandwell on the Upper West Side after searching — and failing to find — a sandwich shop that was genuinely deliciously & healthyish, so he had to open it himself instead.
What makes Sandwell different from other NYC sandwich shops? Sandwell bakes its own semolina bread in-house daily, cold-proofed for 24+ hours. All proteins are baked, never fried. Sauces, dressings, and spreads are made from scratch. There's no red meat, no butter, no cream, and no preservatives — just incredibly delicious food that happens to be better for you.
