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.

Balsamic onions and tomato jam could easily overshadow the cheese in a normal grilled cheese. But, happily for sandwich lovers, 61 Local's Imperial Grilled Cheese matches them with a raw cow's milk raclette from Vermont. The aromatic and creamy cheese melts like a dream and stands up beautifully to the other strong flavors with which it shares the plate. The thick-cut country bread from local bakery Bien Cuit is grilled to crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside perfection and features a parmesan crust for a bonus hit of cheese.
