Lamazou is primarily a cheese shop somewhat out-of-place, right down the street from the Curry Hill neighborhood. It specializes in cheese, cured meats and some high-end grocery items as well as like canned goods and imported teas, sodas and juices. Because they carry over 150 different types of cheese and so many types of cold [...]

When it comes to classic Italian sandwich shops in the city everyone has their favorite. While there is certainly room for debate, I think that anyone who visits Alidoro in Soho enough and tries a few different types of their sandwiches, will at the very least be forced to acknowledge it’s place amongst the greats. The [...]

The Mecca. Well maybe not exactly the Mecca but Sau Voi was the first spot in Manhattan to start selling banh mi sandwiches which means that they deserve royalty checks on a Dr. Dre type of level. However, just cause you’re the first certainly does not mean you’re the best and that is a perfect [...]

Acquedolci is a great addition to Grand street and makes sandwiches that I think are at least as good as those from Alleva. Aside from sandwiches they also make fresh bread, pasta dishes and have a small selection of Italian groceries that include sodas like Chinoto and Aranciata. I’ve had a few of their different [...]

I’ve been getting food from the Bite location on Lafayette Street for about eight years now. I used to work at a Citi Habitats location on Great Jones Street between Broadway and Lafayette streets that no longer exists (they moved to Sullivan Street). We would always try new places for lunch but couldn’t find a [...]

The” where to get a good Italian sandwich in Soho war” is on full blast as newcomers Acquedolci and Torrisi Italian Specialties are challenging longtime dominance of spots like Alidoro’s and Alleva. To be 100% honest I think Torrisi is the best of the bunch right now mainly because of their off the hook side [...]

Since my department moved to 59th street, Tony D’s cart has become the office favorite. The staff seems to favor the steak, lamb and chicken platters and for whatever reason nobody’s tried their slamming burgers yet but I did convince one person to try the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich. Don’t sleep on the grilled chicken sandwich [...]

When I think of the village I will always think of Crosby Connection and it’s three different locations. I first started getting sandwiches there when I worked at the old Citi Habitats location on Great Jones street in 2002. I wold see people lining up at the tiny storefront on Crosby Street and couldn’t believe [...]

I no longer work in the Financial District as my entire department got transferred to the more plush diggd of the Upper East Side/Midtown but there are a few places that I had eaten at downtown that I have not yet posted about including the Ravioli Fair Cart. The Ravioli Fair Cart is a rather hot commodity [...]

You know how when you build something up in your head with so much anticipation that it basically guarantees that something will usually be a letdown? Well that’s what happened to me recently both with the film “Paranormal Activity” (more on that this weekend) as well as David Bouley’s Bouley Market in Tribeca. Let me [...]
