1. Try sardines or anchovies as a condiment.
They pair well with crunchy vegetables, like fennel, celery, or onion.
2. Use fresh cheese...
Like mozzarella or burrata.
3. Don't use too much, too many or unseasonal ingredients.
Avoid stuffing in too much meat and don't use things like tomatoes in the wintertime.
4. Make your own mayonnaise.
It really is very easy to do and allows you to season it any way you desire [try this recipe]. If not, use Hellmann's Mayonnaise, it's a classic.
5. Try mustard oil.
You can easily find it in Indian markets. It has the slightly spicy qualities of mustard without the acidity, which sometimes comes in handy.
Sisha's favorite sandwich places in NYC:
Porchetta (110 East 7th Street, NYC, T: 212.777.2151, www.porchettanyc.com)
For their porchetta sandwich, it's just really good and straightforward. The best that pork has to offer.
Terroir (24 Harrison Street, NYC, T: 212.625.WINE, www.wineisterroir.com)
For the meatball sandwich and the veal and peppers sandwich. The bread is as good as the fillings and there is just enough so that it doesn't overshadow the meats.
