Color me ignorant, but what exactly comes on the vegan buffalo chicken sandwich?

Luke, You're a little behind on this. 'Trust fund hipsters' and 'normal' hipsters alike now mostly populate and congregate in (north/east)williamsburg and greenpoint. LES brings a much more, lets say, common crowd nowadays. Also- "with their stupid faces". . . what?

I dont know what you are talking about T-nizzle, I have always found the staff very nice and helpful. My partner and I meet there at least once every two weeks to split a small southwest chicken sandwich and a tinys happy salad...best lunch in the LES.

Tiny's is good... sure... but what's up with a sandwich place constantly running out of bread? And the girls that work there are such biatchs. Still... they do make a mean sandwich.... and I do still keep going....

Mmmmm...Delicious Tiny's...the veggie sandwiches are perfection and when I'm feeling carnivorous, the regular sandwiches always hit the spot. Take it from the non-profit types across the road, it rates highly on the lunch spots list and you don't need to be a trustfund baby to appreciate it.

yeah the vegan buffalo chicken sandwich is quite tasty...though i wish they had more side options other than chips or salad. like a nice slaw. a slaw would be good.

Seriously, this is the first Camera in the Kitchen post where the food actually looks appetizing. Thanks for some decently lit photos -- this place looks great.

they close too early. like at 8:30. that's unheard of in the LES

That place is for stupid trustfund hipsters and the poseur idiots that follow in their stupid hipster footsteps like so many packs of carrion-eating hyenas. I hate hipsters so much. God I hate them so much. What with their stupid faces and their hipster clothing and stupid hipster purses and such. I can't believe I am the first person to point that out.

Satiate is a great word, isn't it? Of course, it has never been applied to my belly ;)

Jojo: It's about $5 a sandwich unless you want a larger one, which I said in my first paragraph you probably wouldn't need...um...

Jojo, it is cheap compared to the other restaurants nearby where dinner will run you $25 & up! Also if you are in a hurry, Tiny's service is quick, and you probably won't have to wait on line for a table.

Nick: Thanks! I love sandwiches, so if you have any suggestions please let me know. Zach: 10 pounds...is a lot of sandwich! ;) I think I'd be better off eating at Tiny's than some other places. If only I lived closer to it... Dallas: Ahh, I picked up a slice of coconut cream pie after my meal. If I worked near there I'd be so screwed. Phil: I'll try that next time! DaveH: Oh god, I would be so sad if it closed. Neverrrr!!

I kind of freaked out when Tiny's moved from its super-tiny location on Rivington down the street. The panic on my face must have been evident b/c a charitable passerby let me know that it had only moved, not closed.

Get yourself a hot And spicy rizzak. It actually pains me to consider ordering anything else there since i've tried it.

I used to work down the street from Tiny's and am a longstanding fan of the veggie chicken parm sandwich (get extra sauce on the side). You can pick up a cupcake at Sugar Sweet Sunshine across the street if you're really looking to gain weight.

Gothamist, The favorite-cheap-sandwich category is a well-established and accomplished category which Tiny's has reigned (and I hope will continue to). If it were not for Tiny's, I would probably be a very unhappy man, albeit 10 pounds lighter.

it seems that robyn knows (what it takes) to make a good sandwich
