| - Every time I visit Toronto I try to fit in a visit to New York Subway. It's that good! It's hard to describe: think about a cross between a burrito and a curry and everything that is good. I always get the mixed veg. I once tried something different and it just wasn't the same. Even if you are a carnivore, trust me when I say the mixed veg is the way to go. The jumbo is well. . . big! If you are of an average appetite, you will be fine with the regular sized wrap. If you are super hungry (or want to save half for later, though trust me when I say once you start chowing down you won't want to stop, so this is perhaps wishful thinking), by all means go for the jumbo.
The resto itself has undergone quite the transformation in recent years. On my first visits to New York Subway I found the shop run down and needing some TLC. Then on one visit I tried to visit and was met by the dreaded newspaper in the windows and the sign saying "closed for renovations". Sadness! Normally that means "closed to never open again". So I was very very happy to discover not only did they renovate, but it was actually for the better, as the furniture is now newer (and cleaner).
What I miss however from past visits is the older gentleman who reminded me very much of the soup nazi from Seinfeld, except depressed instead of angry. I haven't seen him recently, and wonder what has come of him. This time it was a pair of younger people working there, and while they were polite and the wrap was delicious, something was missing.
