Tiny’s Giant Sandwich Shop Now Open with New Image
Tiny’s Giant Sandwich Shop is finally back on track after weeks of renovations. The beloved neighborhood sandwicherie was initially slated to reopen at the end of June. Obviously the remodeling took a bit longer than expected. A couple notable changes are immediately apparent, aside from the slightly altered menu. And it’s definitely an image makeover for the twelve year-old establishment.

First of all, the standby red-and-white branding is no more. The longtime signage hanging from the facade of 129 Rivington Street was instead replaced with something a bit more upscale-rustic. Two-toned woodboard signage.

Meanwhile, that less trafficked Norfolk Street entrance was overruled, and converted to a takeout window for various beverages (e.g. coffees, sodas, juices).
