PrintDouble Sandwich Fail at DeFonte's and Baoguette
The sandwich gods were not with me last night. I was curious to try out some more offerings from the newly opened Defonte's, but my arrival, half an hour before their posted closing time of 8 p.m., was greeted with a simple hand written sign: "Sorry Closed." Annoying, yes, but not the end of the world. It turns out they had run out of ingredients, which is not uncommon for them. To ensure you'll get a sandwich, you should get there before 7:30 p.m.
Since Baoguette was only a few blocks away, I hustled up to Lexington Avenue. My timing was better than it was at Defonte's, but not by much—I got there just as a hand written sign was being posted on the door informing me that they had "sold out."

I had the same exact double fail yesterday! Except mine was in reverse order - I stopped by Baogette at 7:45 and they only had soup left, and by the time I made it to Defonte's the stools were on top of the tables, so I didn't even both reading whatever was on the door.

@Shelby we must have crossed paths like ships in the night - hungry, hungry ships...
