Subject: Tea Lounge Space: HANCO'S!
I can not contain myself. If you heard a screeching little girl scream about 2 hours ago on 7th and 10th, that would have been me looking at the beautiful picture below.

Hanco's (Vietnamese Sandwich Place) is taking over Tea Lounge space. I love Hanco's, and cannot wait until it opens. Looks like we are a while away.

Ummmmmmmmmm.........

Hahaha... I can't tell if you are sarcastic. Hopefully not, as I believe it may just quite be the greatest thing. Ever.

Wow OP, you're a douche.

I just got off the other thread - if you're gonna steal at least don't make it so obvious. You just got that from fuckedinparkslope, walk around dissing the site, and then steal their photos. nice work.

Reread the other thread smash... I never "dissed" the other site. I actually don't have a problem with it.

You are right... forgot to put the cite. Updated and thank you for respectfully bringing that to my attention.

They are quite good... definitely should try one when this place opens. They also have another shop open in Cobble Hill (I think).

Just for the record, that cite above is from Wikipedia, which, held within the website, is a collection of other peoples explanations of a Vietnamese Sandwich. Don't want to be accused of stealing.

They look and sound really good! It's also good that they have Vegetarian options usually too. Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check them out when they open.

Hopefully they will. I found their menu from the other location. My guess is it'll be the exact same.

Can we get back on topic (i.e., how the OP is a big douche)? I thought that was a thought-provoking line of inquiry.

Hm, yeah funny!

See Mpmav, you're almost getting it - linking to something is fine - but if you take what they say on wikipedia and pass it off as your own prose, then you have to cite your source, get it?

Don't worry, tomorrow's a new day.

wow, yeah! YIPEE!

Okay, Hanco v Ba Xuyên . . . discuss.
(Ba Xuyên is in Sunset Park, 8th Ave and 42nd St, and is amazing. They tend to close/run out of bread by 6:30 -7pm, but if you can get there for lunch it's a beautiful bahni mi day.)

I can't wait until they open! I used to live in Cobble Hill and ate there all the time. The shredded chicken sandwich with bubble tea (minus the tapioca balls) is my favorite seven dollar meal! Woo-hoo!!!!

Using Brook-Vine as an example, it's one thing to get the construction completed... and quite another to have all the right paperwork to open your doors... I'm guessing it'll be another month or two.

Agreed! Nicky's on Atlantic is really great. I'm just happy to soon have an option here in the slope.

I finally made it to Nicky's on Atlantic, and found them to be distinctly ungreat compared to the Sunset Park places. The coffee was right on, but the regular #1 sandwich was not sublime.
I am a devoted fan of bahn mi. These were just okay sandwiches.

Specifically, Spicy order was not spicy, and the meats were meh. The pickled veg wasn't even as good.

Not that I wouldn't go there anyway . . .

but Ba Xuyen and the tiny place below Canal St are waaaaaaay better.

I keep hearing such great things about Ba Xuyen, but I've never been. Now, I'm definitely going.

Something must have gone wrong then...maybe the regulars were sick and they had a temp making your sandwich, because if you ask for spicy they can usually burn your face off.

scarlett » Mmmmm bubble tea with vodka!!!!

I'd been imagining making an alcoholic drink with the tapioca pearls. Something white russian-y. I even went so far as to buy the pearls, but neglected to buy straws, and the straws are an integral part of the whole thing. Don't know why it didn't just occur to me to just throw in a shot of hooch and call it a day. Meet you there opening day with a flask?
