Midtowners Brave Hour Long Line at Brand New Alidoro for Sandwich Glory

Cult favorite Italian sandwich shop Alidoro opened its doors this morning in Midtown to find many, many hungry Midtowners. A clerk at the shop says the wait's about an hour, even if you place your order in advance over the phone. Still, people are braving the long line (mostly indoors) for Italian hero glory, just like fans of the downtown original have for years. Check more shots of the line below:
