The Wayland's expansion on Avenue C will sell sandwiches


Back in July we noted that The Wayland on the corner of Avenue C and East Ninth Street was expanding into the empty space next door that previously housed Bite Me Best.

New York magazine this week (via Grub Street) has the scoop on the space, a 15-seat shop called Animals that will serve sandwiches from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Per New York:

About a dozen selections are priced between $8 and $10, including a pulled-bacon torta with refried baked beans and chile mayo, hot shrimp with harissa butter and celery slaw, and a vegetarian “kitchen sink” with jalapeño pesto.

No word yet if they will sell offbeat sandwiches such as, say, turkey with lettuce and tomato on whole wheat. Animals opens next Monday.

I was hoping to track down the elusive NOTORIOUS B.L.T. On wheat of course.

As a vegetarian I am offended by the name "Animals."
As an east village resident, i am offended by the continued crapification of restaurant names.
RIP 9C and banjo jim's.
