Sandwich Shop Flies High Above The City

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… Subway? Construction of The Freedom Tower, the first new building to rise out of the World Trade Center complex is currently underway, with teams working around the clock. At lunch time, It takes a hungry worker approximately, 30-45 minutess to travel from the top of the structure to ground level, the entire length of their break. To solve this problem, a Subway sandwich shop was commissioned by the Port Authority of New York, and hoisted via shipping container to the top of the building last week.

This is Subway’s first fully functioning store located inside a shipping container, and will be incrementally raised as the building grows. When construction of the Freedom Tower is completed in 2013, it could quite possibly be the highest sandwich shop in the world.
