Fans of Bar Reis will be thrilled to know about the new sandwich shop next door. I just got back from there because my friend, Mo, a bartender at Bar Reis, told me to come by and try a sandwich.
When I got there I met Reis Goldberg, owner of Bar Reis and Reis 100. He told me that the shop will be selling 100 varieties of small sandwiches. Reis showed me around the attractive new shop next door and even let me sample two delicious sandwiches. The bread, from Caputo's Bakery is a perfectly sized soft baguette. I had the gruyere, bacon and carmelized onion sandwich which was incredbily delicious. I also tried the cream cheese with Lemon rhubarb berry jam, also delicious. Stay tuned for my interview with Goldberg.
Reis 100 is opening soft with sandwiches at the bar but the new place opens officially on Thursday night. It is on Fifth Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets in Park Slope.
I love it already.
Seems that Mo, that multi-talented young woman, is making the jams. Here's an email I got today from Heather, a friend of Reis.
owner of 5th Avenue's Bar Reis, is preparing to open a new shop called
Reis 100, which will serve 100 varieties of small sandwiches, all
priced at either $3.50 or $5.00. The offerings, served on custom rolls,
specially baked by Caputo's in Carroll Gardens, will feature homemade
jams and kimchee and the delicacies from local purveyors, such as
kielbasa from Jubilat Provisions. Though Banh Mi is not on the menu,
there are some combinations that include veal or duck pate. In
adddition, there are some great vegetarian options, and a few sweet
concotions, including one with a homemade Lemon Rhubarb Berry Jam. Bar
patrons will be able to enjoy sandwiches at the bar, or in the garden
that connects Reis 100 to Bar Reis, until the wee hours.
