If I were vegan, I'd hit up Subway.
Thankfully, however, I am not; and I live in Brooklyn:

Dude - you need to learn to boil some rice & pasta. Not enough carbs even in a foot-long to sustain you if you're riding 2-4 hours per day. My grocery bill in peak training (14+ hrs per week) is still almost always <$30 / week for the foodstuffs, and I eat a LOT. I'd use the footlongs for a "treat", but for the bulk of your foods, go bulk carbs all the way. Cheaper AND healthier.

Guys ease off I probably make more of my meals at home than 98% of people my age, I'm just saying if you don't have time to throw together some dinner or lunch (I personally have to make my lunch and dinner before work 4 days a week and bring it to work due to my weird hours) it's a really really good deal.
I'm the sort to weigh out food to the ounce to find the best value, and as I recall, the tuna nets you more protein per sandwich than any of the other 5USD sub, and then they will pile on enough veg to be a full salad besides. If you ask for more of one or two vegs beyond what they originally give you they almost always will....

Mon-Thurs I work 1-10/12 PM, so an average day for me is wake up at 7-8 ride 2-4 hours, go home make recovery food and breakfast. Then make lunch and dinner and then commute 45-60 min to work, go home and prepare my bike to do it again the next day. I try and get one 50-70 mile ride in before work that's the day I usually hit up subway for dinner and use the time saved making a pasta dinner or stir fry like i normally would to get the extra hour or so in on the bike.
All I can say is, it's hectic and tests my dedication to training.

If i'm really desperate and did a real long hard ride, Chipolte is the way to the promised land. Otherwise i'd rather have something homemade or along the homemade lines.
