    it’s a reuben; but that name is licensed so they call it a russian sandwich.

    it’s near the museum of modern history in manhattan.

    the corned beef is chunked out into thin-ish shards instead of sliced like all of the other reubens.

    the saurkraut is homemade; thick; crunchy; and tart af and the rye is also homemade and super tangy. i suspect that they make the saurkraut the same way they make mexican style pickled jalapenos/carrots/onions/etc.

    they also make their own dressing and it’s got a fantastic kick to it entirely due to the fact that the entire staff is mexican; no one speaks english and none of the patrons are wasp americans. (you’re not welcome if you can only speak english).

    i haven’t had that sandwich since 2009 and i still crave and fantasize about it each time i want a delicious sandwich so good that it makes you lick your hands clean after you eat it.

    i’ve stopped eating reubens because they pale so badly in comparison that it makes me angry to be reminded that i paid for such a THOROUGHLY mediocre alternative.

      I didn’t know there was a museum of modern history in Manhattan, it sounds like a place I’d like to visit. Can you drop a link to its website? Unless you mean the museum of natural history? Or the museum of modern art?

        intentionally obfuscated to protect the proprietor; wasps REALLY suck and they’re a majority; especially in manhattan or on the lemmyverse or anywhere else for that matter.
