Precious to the point
of being Dean &
Deluca-ish, Citarella to Go is the sandwich outlet of the upscale
Citarella
gourmet grocery store. You know, it's one of those joints with like
fourteen kinds of smoked fish, twenty-seven types of olives and more
stinky cheese than a Frenchman's taint. The to go joint is more of
the typical sandwich and by-weight type of place with some hot entrees
for those of you out there who like to burn your chins off, or drop
sauce on your khakis while typing IMs to your buddies and checking
out the latest on You Tube. Finding a sandwich or wrap in their small
arsenal without friggin' olives or mayo in it was tough, but I settled
on a chicken and avocado morsel that had neither black fruit nor egg-based
grossness. I would have preferred it to be a little fresher, but it
was totally edible and killed less brain sells than a hit on the rock
pipe (but what doesn't). You'd think that a place that prides itself
on its fresh ingredients and fancy-pants imported stuff would know
better than to keep their sandwiches sitting in a fridge for hours,
but what the hell do I know? I do have to say, though, that at least
the $5.99 price was right--more right than anyone can imagine in this
neighborhood of eight dollar cookies. [MF] |
