Cosí, the sandwich
of champions. Well, more like the sandwich of yuppies and worker bees.
Granted, this location tries to be a little more "downtown," concentrating
more on the coffee house aspect than the pack 'em in Midtown mentality
shown at some of their other locations. The space is rather large
and sprawling, but with some cozier accommodations than your typical
Cosí, and a lot of space to just hang out. The sandwiches don't
taste any different, though, which essentially means that the best
part is the bread--and what bread it is. Crunchy and salty with a
hint of olive oil, the stuff could make horse shit taste good. Add
a little of their special vinaigrette and you'll completely ignore
the sub-standard deli meats (well, sub-standard when you're being
charged eight bucks a pop) and horrible menu lay-outs. On that note,
figuring out what is available to put on your sandwich is like trying
to find a title at The
Strand Bookstore--jumbled, confusing and more challenging than
it should be. This is certainly a step above your local deli, but
for some these "designer" sandwiches lack the heart a real
sandwich should have. [MF] Other Locations: Cosí Sandwich Bar (Midtown East) Cosí Sandwich Bar (Midtown East II) Cosí Sandwich Bar (Rockefeller Center) Cosí Sandwich Bar (Times Square/Theater District) |
