Brookline Sandwich Shop Reopens In Artistic Style

BROOKLINE, MA — Customers who visit Cutty's sandwich shop in Brookline can now place orders inside in addition to having the option of using the takeout window. The popular sandwich spot, located at 284 Washington St., had been solely a takeout location since 2020.

While there is no sit-down dining space, its seatless high-top tables and bench have become popular spots to enjoy sandwiches, according to restaurant staff.

Cutty’s ownership also partnered with nationally recognized artist Tara Lewis for a collaboration that combines the restaurant’s dining experience with Lewis’s artistic creations. Customers are able to enjoy the visual entertainment while they wait for their orders. In addition to Lewis’s artwork is displayed throughout the space, a custom sandwich was crafted in Lewis’s honor. The “TLC” Roast turkey, green leaf lettuce, Calabrian Chile mayo, provolone, and pickled celery on a focaccia roll.

According to Lewis, her paintings are based on the themes of female self-awareness, adornment, realness, and self-decoration. She has presented her works in numerous galleries throughout the country and is currently based out of New England and New York.

A limited-edition apparel collection will also be offered moving forward.

Editor's Note: An earlier version of the story incorrectly reported that Cutty's space had indoor seating. It also incorrectly referred to its takeout window as a drive-thru. We apologize for the error.
