20 Blocks, a sandwich shop at 215 E. 4th St., between Avenue A and Avenue B, officially opened its doors in mid-August. 

Run by NYC natives Jack August (who lives in the EV) and William "Willy" Corman, the shop has been a hit over the past 6-8 weeks.

Expect to find a few people waiting outside by the 11 a.m. opening bell most days, with sandwiches often selling out early.

The streamlined menu focuses on high-end signature builds, including a Beef & Broc and a house-roasted turkey with fried tomatoes. Expect a new sandwich creation each week.

During our visit, we spotted Adam Zhu (middle), a friend of the two owners, who was helping out during the opening...

Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (or until sold out). Closed Monday and Tuesday.
