Meatball Sandwich Review: Milano’s
Forgive me, Father, it’s been five years since my last meatball sandwich review. I have no ready excuse, though I do know that since my go-to chicken parm provider closed a couple of summers ago, I have been on an unofficial quest to find a replacement. But I never stopped loving you, meatball sandwich. And […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Frank & Joe’s
It was thrilling to learn how to drive again at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange, New Jersey, this past June. But almost equally exciting was finding out that my instructor Maria’s father ran a pizza place in Paterson. I promised myself that when I was finally an approved driver, with hand controls […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Two Boots
Sheila “gets” me. She knew, when she e-mailed me a photo of her lunch a few weeks ago, that I’d totally appreciate it. “oh my god i want that,” I replied. “i want three. maybe i want six.” Sheila had obtained them at the Two Boots in Grand Central Terminal. She said they were “pretty […]
Gridiron Gastronomy
I’m really pleased to be back in the New York Times today! The article is in the Metropolitan section, on the NJ Dining page. Timed to upcoming bowl games, etc., I visited eateries in north, central, and south Jersey looking for great takeout options.
Meatball Sandwich Review: Favia Pizza
It was snowing like nobody’s business and I had to get to Jersey City. OK, sure, I could’ve rescheduled the interview I was conducting for a day with less inclement weather. But, I’m a bit of a masochist, a firm believer in “no time like the present,” and besides, I might get that meatball sandwich […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Pizza Per Tutti
Here at Salt in Wound dot-com, we tirelessly circumnavigate the globe in search of the ultimate meatball sandwich. And so it was that I found myself in Oranjestad, Aruba, at the Tamarijn All-Inclusive Vacation Beach Resort. You know how they don’t feed you on planes anymore? Suffice to say I was starving like a mothereffer […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Sanpanino
I know the intersection of Christopher and Hudson Streets very, very well. From 1994 through 2011, it was an important part of my daily commute: Get off the train at Christopher, cross Hudson, and be on my merry way—and the reverse in the evening. Still, I’ve never really “hung out” a lot over there. Sure, […]
Meatball Sandwich Review: Spring Street Natural
Truth is, I don’t go to a lot of places with “Natural” in their names. There’s a Korean grocery in Hoboken, Natural + Plus, that I used to frequent quite a bit—my old roommate and I called it “The Natch.” And I’ve consistently gone to Soho’s Spring Street Natural a few times a year since […]
