Goodbye, banh mi
Vendor Lucy Nguyen will take a break from selling banh mi in the Strip to return to Vietnam for a four-month hiatus. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 18, marks the last day customers can purchase Hanoi hoagies outside 2216 Penn Ave.
Ms. Nguyen’s banh mi features chicken or pork stuffed into a crusty roll, layered with pickled carrots, onions, cucumbers, hot peppers and cilantro garnish.
