If we're talking about the biggest variety with the best quality, Rossi's is indisputably one of the best. However, there is an unsung sandwich hero (no pun originally intended) hidden in Dutchess County that you need to know about.

One of the Best Sandwiches in the Hudson Valley

Tucked away on East Main Street in Wappingers Falls lies one of the most divine sandwiches I've had the privilege of eating. Let me set the scene: Expertly baked sourdough toasted and coated with garlic butter to start. Spread on a layer of sweet fig jam then a layer of creamy goat cheese. That in itself would be delicious enough, but no, there's more. Add diced BACON to that equation and then drizzle it all with a little honey and you've got easily one of the tastiest sandwiches you could imagine. This sandwich is called the Toasted Goat and it's available at Norma's in Wappingers Falls.

The irony of it is that Norma's began as a tiny coffee shop and bakery in Queens. So if we're raving about a sandwich, just imagine how out of this world, the main event of pastries and coffee are.
