A Caribbean carry-out for flaky patties stuffed with

4. Fuji Sushi
227 Sullivan Street
(212-674-5242)
The Thai owner of this Japanese grocery and premade
sushi shop surreptitiously cooks Thai on the
side—duck in for a curried-chicken crêpe
($1.50) and coconut-milk-drenched mango sticky rice
($3).
5. Ciao Bella
227 Sullivan Street
(212-505-7100)
For a twist on the typical malted, the worthy version
here is made with malted-milk-ball gelato ($4), which
gives it a crunchy edge over the competition.

6. Pepe Rosso To Go
149 Sullivan Street
(212-677-4555)
The pasta place that spawned a red-sauce empire, the
original Pepe turns tables so fast (and bluntly), the
truffle-oiled bresaola panino ($6.95) and
lickety-split spaghetti with pesto, potatoes, and
string beans ($7.95) count as street food.

7. Joe’s Dairy
156 Sullivan Street

spectacular (albeit premade) sandwiches ($4 to $6),

peppers and a splash of good olive oil.
8. Once Upon A Tart
135 Sullivan Street
(212-387-8869)

quaint Soho institution, but the takeout annex offers
the same delicious sweet and savory tarts ($5),
sandwiches ($6.50 to $6.75), and strawberry lemonade
($3.75) to go.
9. Melampo Imported Foods
105 Sullivan Street
Even though moody Italian sandwich maestro Alessandro
Gualandi’s young understudy seems to be taking
on the brunt of the hero-making duties these days,
they’re still good, if not quite the same, and
make for excellent picnicking at the pocket park next
door.
10. Sullivan Street Bakery
73 Sullivan Street
(212-334-9435)
Habit-forming Roman-style pizza by the slice ($1 to
$3.75), from the marvelous, minimalist tomato standby

and champagne grape. For dessert: ricotta and jam
tortas, biscotti, and the Italian answer to pumpkin
pie.
