Signage arrived on March 31 for Sanwits at 149 First Ave., between Ninth Street and 10th Street.
This is being billed as a Filipino sandwich shop. (Photo below by EVG reader Wes.)
The previous tenant, Rowdy Rooster, had been "temporarily closed" here since the fall, with a note on the door promising that "new things are coming."
That appears to be Sanwits.
The Rowdy Rooster signage disappeared in January (photo by Steven).
The new venture looks to be from the Unapologetic Foods team — the same group behind Rowdy Rooster. (Unapologetic Foods is currently the only account following Sanwits' placeholder Instagram.)
We've reached out to an Unapologetic Foods rep for more details.
Rowdy Rooster, which offers spicy Indian fried chicken, opened in February 2022. It proved popular enough to try an outpost near Penn Station in 2023.
