* Where: Joe Friday’s Alaskan Coffeehouse, 825 Houston St.
* What: The new Alaskan Solstice Sandwich is a hit with customers, said owner Misty Heinsman. It’s a veggie burger made with a spicy chipotle black-bean patty, sliced tomatoes, grilled onions, cheddar and provolone cheeses. It’s topped with the signature Joe’s Sauce and served on thick, toasted whole-wheat bread. The sandwich can be made into a wrap as well. “We’re going through a case of the burgers a week,” Heinsman said. “People are saying that the Joe Sauce really makes it, and they keep ordering it over and over. The burger has a kick, and the Joe Sauce calms it down a little.”
* Price: $7.79 (comes with blue chips and Joe Sauce).
