That 5th Ave Banh Mi Rumor Turned Out to be True
The buzz last month about a banh mi joint opening on 5th Avenue between 5th and 6th streets was on the money. On Friday, a place called Home S opened in the storefront next to Willie’s Dawgs. All banh mi (classic, pork chop, chicken, etc.) cost $6, and bubble teas start at $3.75. There’s no…

We’ll revisit the debate (banh mi vs. pizza) in five years.

I don’t think Banh Mi is a fad anymore than pizza is.
The reason Soho can charge a dollar less than Park Slope is because they have more customers and more foot traffic. Don’t begrudge this business in Park Slope because they decided to open on a less busy street than Broadway. Lord, they’re just trying to make a business work and apparently have decided that 6 bucks will hopefully do the trick.
There is another Bahn Mi place opening on 5th and President Street, right next door to Matter (an amazing store, if you’ve never been).
I plan to try both.

Banh Mi is a silly fad…
yeah. food fads are kinda annoying cuz everyone starts clamoring for places to open, then you have a giant glut of mediocre places all competing with each other.
bubble tea is kinda icky.. i had it a few years ago and when i ate one of the little balls i nearly gagged. it had the consistency of a shrunken gonad. ick

I think Bubble Tea is delish and obv insanely popular for years amongst kids in all Asian countries, so I don’t see that fad ever ending frankly and now American kids are hip to it
Oh, and bubble tea is effing retarded. There, I said it.
Banh Mi is a silly fad… I hope they either have a plan to be in business for just a few years or a longer term plan to tap into the next fad when Banh Mi has dried up.
