A quick chat about Miami’s sandwiches

If you’re in Miami and craving a sandwich that’s more local than chain, I’d say skip the obvious spots and wander a little off the beaten path. Wynwood has some small shops experimenting with unexpected combos,one of my favorite hangouts does a killer jerk pork with pickled mango. Also, Little Havana remains the heart for Cuban sandwiches, but don’t just settle for the classic; try the medianoche late at night when the cafes are buzzing with locals winding down.

Bonus tip: Miami lunch crowds tend to show up around 1pm, so if you want to avoid lines, aim for an early or late lunch. Trust me, your sandwich will thank you.
