Streetlevel: Saltie, One Week In
Last week The New York Times brought word that Saltie, a collaboration between totwo Diner alumnae, chef Caroline Fidanza and Rebecca Collerton, as well as Elizabeth Schula from Il Buco, was about to open at Havemeyer and Metropolitan.

Last week The New York Times brought word that Saltie, a collaboration between totwo Diner alumnae, chef Caroline Fidanza and Rebecca Collerton, as well as Elizabeth Schula from Il Buco, was about to open at Havemeyer and Metropolitan. We’ve passed by this week a few times, and the place seems to be jumping at certain hours. Their main fare is sandwiches, but definitely don’t expect chicken wraps or the like: combinations include the Longshoreman—Israeli meatballs, herbs, yogurt—or The Captain’s Daughter—sardine, pickled egg, salsa verde. The small shop also offers gourmet ice creams, pastries, and more. GMAP

Sounds delicious. Egg and anchovies is a classic, so is meatballs. Sounds like the same idea as Battali and others updating organ meats. Or calves’ hoof salad at Superior.
How much does it cost?
i was in here last week and its a winner. i had a special of the day sanwich…blt with fried green tomatos.YUM!
MY SON HAD A PEICE OF POUND CAKE. i ate some too…. all week ive been thinking i need to get back there!
My wife and I had sandwiches at this place last week.
We had :
The Captains Daughter sardine, pickled egg, salsa verde
Clean Slate wheatberries, chickpeas, miso, pickled vegetables
Unusual combinations, but very good, the design and layout of the store is very cool.
I liked the bakery that used to be in the same spot.
Fatte sau is nearby as well. Best BBQ in Brooklyn!
ok, the israeli thing did seriously sound amazing to me. i’m guessing that it’s either ktzizot or a kebab. there’s a version of this all around the middle east and also had something similar in bulgaria.
it’s probably made with beef and middle eastern spices and, maybe looks more like a patty than a ball.
“mortadella, pecorino, green olive”
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little… blech.
DH, that other eye of yours is damn sexy and you give pretty good piggyback rides. :o)
The sammiches don’t sound yummy to me either.
haha 11217 – u crack me up
i actually have a hunch back and glass eye – but I do my best.
“Yeah – fifi sammiches aren’t my thing. just give me some roast beef or a chicken cutlet on a roll.”
Jesus, you’re sexy.
🙂
The sardine sandwich sounds great to me.
