Viral sandwich shop making waves in NYC

A sandwich shop that took Boston by storm is now making serious waves in New York City. Table Mercado's massive Italian sandwiches went viral on social media, earning the top sandwich spot in Boston and number six nationwide on the food app Belly. Now, owner Jen Royal is bringing that viral sensation right to Manhattan's East Village. We make everything to order. Our bread is fresh, our focaccia bread is fresh, our sesame rolls are fresh. We fry our chicken cutlets to order. We're slicing our mozzarella fresh every morning. From crispy chicken cutlets smothered in homemade vodka sauce to fresh baked focaccia, these towering sandwiches are attracting massive crowds. New Yorkers are lining up around the block to see if they live up to the hype. I told them, I was like, we have to go immediately. Like, I need to try this. With long lines wrapping down 10th Street and batches selling out daily, word is spreading fast. I want a hearty, homey food, just make me feel welcome, and they really did as soon as we walked in, and again, it just looks really, really good. For Royal, expanding into New York is a chance to bring a taste of Boston to one of the country's biggest food capitals. New Yorkers know food, and I'm so happy and blessed that they've accepted me into their community, into this East Village community. And bringing a Boston favorite to New York ignites a little friendly rivalry. I am totally shocked at the response from New Yorkers. I mean, every now and then I get somebody who throws some Boston hate my way. But I don't play for the Red Sox. I'm just here to make good food. It's really been incredible. Table Mercado opens its doors at 11 a.m., but once they run out of fresh ingredients, they'll lock up for the day. Meredith Gorman, Fox 5 News.
