Worth it
  • Address151 Front St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Sometimes simple things done well become great things, and Bread & Spread is the perfect example. The sandwich shop isn’t doing rocket science or curing a complex disease, they’re making sandwiches, but damn they’re good.

Their secret isn’t a secret at all. Bread & Spreads uses fresh, local ingredients whose flavors are allowed to shine through with every bite. They make classic breakfast sandwiches, banh mi sandwiches, and regular lunch sandwiches.

And as one of the best restaurants in DUMBO, Bread & Spread has amassed a loyal following of locals who can’t get enough. I’m proud to say I’m a part of this growing foodie-frenzy, and am addicted to the porchetta sandiwch which comes with pork belly, garlic, fennel seed, pickled red onions, arugula, red pepper jam and aged provolone (I’ll take two, please).

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
