replying to u/TimeTraveler1848: Also consider splitting meals. Depends on many factors but was just recently there with a friend group and another (50s) female friend and I split many meals-helped with waistline and cost! And meals were filling. We couldn’t even finish a plate of 3 lemon ricotta pancakes from Friedman’s, in fact! If you’re in Astoria, Queens, highly recommend Taverna Anassa for great Greek food.
“My suggestion for OP: Little Kirin. Get the Pho sandwich with the broth for dipping and add a cucumber salad on the side. Delicious, and plenty of food if you split it.”

replying to u/stockscalper: btw if anyone has a recommendation for sandwiches from different regions like LatAm, Africa, Eastern Europe, Mediterrean, Asia (other than Viet banh mi's) -- let me hear it. I eat too many Italian subs because all the online reco's are 80% Italian like Defonte or Parisi
