In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.

This beer destination on Bleecker Street is packed after hours, and its beer events are some of the best in the city. With all that craft ale, you'd think that food would take a back seat. Yet there is more to the menu than hot wings and chicken quesadillas (although those are there, too). Go for the Bloody Beast Mini if you'd like some meat to wash down your beer, but aren't hungry enough to tackle a full-sized cow. The sandwich, for $5.50, is not very beastly or bloody, but instead comes on a fist-sized ciabatta that I would call cute if I dared. Thinly-sliced roast beef is piled high, bracketed on top with a bit of cheddar and on the bottom with some subtle horseradish sauce. Unfortunately, I missed out on the Bloody Mary sauce, which I suppose would have awoken this mini beast from its slumber and sent me howling for more.
