A Sandwich a Day: Ham and Cheese from Tarallucci e Vino

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.

The hustle and bustle of Tarallucci e Vino kept me entertained as I sat waiting for my take-out order. It was so busy that I began to fear they'd lost track of my sandwiches, but I spent some quality time drooling over the pastry case set right by the door. I got my rosemary ham and provolone cheese sandwich ($10) in good time, and was pleased with the tasty results. The ham was flavorful and wasn't overwhelmed by the strong, salty provolone. The multigrain bread could've been a bit better—so fluffy and light as to almost disappear. But each bite of this sandwich was delicious, a great example of a sum being better than its parts. And isn't that what sandwiches are all about?
