Rocket Pig

Home of THE 'Rocket Pig' Sandwich

When Trestle on Tenth’s Ralf Kuettel expanded into a space behind the restaurant, he took a big gamble by placing one main item on the menu: a smoked pork sandwich. And Rocket Pig has paid off. The sandwich is winning accolades for its juicy, tender meat complemented by onion jam and hot sauce. For those not looking to picnic on the nearby High Line, you can get oysters, charcuterie, or cheese on the side. But you’ll be dreaming about the sandwich for days.

Tucked into an alleyway behind Chelsea’s Trestle on Tenth, this inexpensive sandwich slinger keeps things simple, offering one signature (and massive) smoked pork ’wich, plus oysters and charcuterie; there’s a small area for dining in, though most choose to grab their pig roll and rocket right out.
