Duran Sandwiches

Interesting food shop concept. They do Austrian/​European style open face sandwiches.
First off, the sandwiches are small. They look more like overlarge crostini. But they are well made and the toppings are fresh and an interesting variety. I did an order of 5, and it was very neatly boxed in this perfectly sized sandwich box. I chose the smoked salmon, cucumber, egg salad, roast beef with cranberry jam, and Hungarian salami. I liked how each one had its own combination of toppings and garnishes, especially the ones that had sauce.
I guess the biggest draw of this kind of food concept is being able to have all different varieties of carefully prepared sandwiches, and being able to have as little or as much as you like. As someone that has a hard time finishing large portions, I definitely like having that flexibility.
I would go back and try some of the other ones, but it’s definitely not going to be a regular spot for me because it’s just a tad too pricey. But I’m glad to have it as a light lunch option.

Had three of the sandwiches. I was excited to finally try this place. Pretty awful.
The woman behind the counter was helpful and very nice. So… maybe I’ll come back for coffee.

Attended a Hungarian small cocktail wedding celebration Saturday evening, On the menu,
Incredible house music, spectacular cocktails that were very potent, (props to the bartenders) and small delectable open-​face sandwiches reminiscent of old world Hungary. Some vegetarian, salmon for the pescatarians and good hearty Hungarian cured meats for us peasant stock. very generous toppings on good bread!
The eggplant reminded me of of my grandmother’s eggplant .The cheeses, some flavored with paprika, out of this world. a tiny little dainty lobster salad (one bite delight).I scarfed those down the gullet.
When I’m in the ‘hood, I’ll be in to soothe the hungry tiger known as my stomach.

Stopped in for a coffee a few weeks ago. Their server illy coffee so that was a plus. tried out some of their sampler and the sandwiches tasted good too.

Delicious European-​style open-​faced sandwiches!!! I tried the one with original Hungarian salami, salmon, cucumber & farmer’s cheese and egg salad sandwich. All were very good, had the right size and a rich topping including a nice decoration. As I have Hungarian roots and love Hungarian salami, I was extremely happy to find a sandwich with this topping:-) The sandwiches are presented in a very nice way in the shop. Tamas, the owner, is very friendly, welcoming and happy to tell you more about how the sandwiches are made. They also offer take out and cater for private & business events. I will definitely go back since there are many more tastes to try and will also bring all my friends to introduce them these delicacies.

A new sandwich place right across from New York Life! They’re from Austria and are super friendly. Will give you samples too!
These are small, open-​faced sandwiches like a bruschetta with different toppings. I liked their combo of flavors.
A bit pricey, at around $ 5 a piece. They also deliver and cater.
I had a salmon one and a goat cheese with cranberry. They have tons of different variety. Small shop with a few stools. Serves Illy coffee.

When my family and I go to Budapest I always have to stop at Duran for their sandwiches. I’m so excited that they are now here in NYC! My go-​to favs are the Hungarian sausage, farmers cheese and mixed meat salad with cheese. In my opinion this is how you should eat a sandwich! Tamas the owner and staff are very nice and welcoming!

Latest craze in town! We ordered these open-​faced sandwiches for delivery to the office. They are petite sandwiches made of a slice of narrow fresh bread with different spreads: liver pâté, cheese spreads with toppings of cold cuts, Hungarian or German sausages, caviar, smoked salmon, vegetables, egg, etc. They were so delicious and enticing to eat. The staff liked them very much, something different from the usual Italian hot food and sandwiches. And they are very affordable, some less than $ 5. Highly recommended. Will have to make a run to the Flatiron (Madison on 27^th Street) to taste the other selections!

My hubby and I were walking around not knowing where to go on our last afternoon before heading to the airport. We just happened to pass by this place and the food from outside looked so enticing that we had to go inside and check it out.
The staff saw us looking from the outside and maneuvered us to come inside. They were new 3 days ago. They were located next to a hotel but I forgot what hotel? It’s a small store with a few bar seating. This is mostly for to-​go food. The staff was very friendly and even offered some samples to try. I have to say good customer service.
We tried 5 pieces and we’re all good. My favorite though was their tuna and egg salad. We also tried their salami, lobster and salmon (could have more salmon) pieces. It was a special of buy four and get one free. Prices were less than $ 4 each but well worth it as the pieces were pretty big. They do offer catering and I can see they do more of this than anything. Come by and try them out!

Brand new sandwich shop, and it’s GREAT. Just stopped by before I flew back home, and I was amazed. I’m always looking for an affordable sandwich that isn’t low quality like Subway or bland like those at competing locations. At Duran I had three sandwiches (they’re small). One egg salad, one sausage, and one ham sandwich. All looked fantastic and tasted great. Owner told me they had a «secret recipe» for the spread. If I worked back in NYC I would cater with them because the food looks as nice as it tastes! Will add photos later once I get my camera up and running.
