Eh open faced sandwich I guess. But if you eat a lox and cream cheese bagel as a closed sandwich you’re a barbarian

Breakfast sandwich on a Kaiser roll is an excellent answer. I had not considered breakfast.

I will stick with pastrami on rye with mustard piled high with nothing else on it. Preferably from Katz’s

It’s gotta be a Jewish deli sandwich so it’s pastrami on rye with mustard. Italian “hero” (whatever) is a Philly sandwich not NYC in my book. Lox on a bagel not a sandwich

"Slavery was real"

Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington.

Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Yeah that was a great shot. And I thought the movie was very savvy about the presence of non-white people at the Globe, which went unremarked and thereby suggested nicely that this would not have been so uncommon.

Life is tough in academia so I wouldn’t begrudge anyone for applying but … this is, let’s just say, a pretty tough sell right now.
