TOASTY SANDWICH SHOP

toasty does sandwiches the way most places only claim to. that's the thing about 132 gavin st: it's not trying to split its attention across a dozen concepts, and you feel that the moment you're deciding what to order. yonkers doesn't get enough credit as a food neighborhood, but spots like this are exactly why people who live here stop looking elsewhere. the coffee program is taken seriously, not as an afterthought to the food. regulars here are the kind who come back not out of habit but out of preference, which is a different thing entirely. if you're in the area around lunchtime, the sandwich and a drip coffee combination is the move, and gavin st is a perfectly reasonable reason to make the trip.
