Ballet Adds Banh Mi Menu

If Baguette Box is a little too gourmet for your budget, say hello to banh mi at Ballet. The sandwiches arrived a while ago, actually, but the menu took a while to show up. Ballet is a Vietnamese-fusion joint off Broadway on Pike Street on Capitol Hill. People who live and work in the Pike-Pine corridor use it like a cafeteria (the worn interior and cheap prices complete the effect). Regulars will be right at home with the sandwich offerings, which rely on the chicken, pork, beef, and tofu (grilled, BBQ, teriyaki) that populate the rest of the menu. Prices range from $3.95 to $4.95.
