Profile

This petite, weekday-only breakfast and lunch spot serves mainly takeout, accommodating Tribeca residents and workers from the nearby Citigroup building. But despite the emphasis on to-go, the cozy interior shows reason to stay—fresh-cut flowers adorn the four pale-green eat-in tables, and a side wall is hung with black-and-white images of fifties icons. Counter service runs to sandwiches and panini, salads, wraps, quesadillas, and burritos. Ingredients are fresh and combinations can be inventive, like the pine nuts and sun-dried tomato pesto that accompanies the grilled-chicken balsamic wrap. Toasted walnuts and grapes enliven the watercress-and-blue-cheese salad, which has a tangy finish, courtesy of an aged sherry shallot vinaigrette. On a small grill in back, a cook works up hot items like skirt-steak sandwiches dressed with Gruyère, criminis, onions, and a chimichurri sauce that packs an appealingly spicy kick. Smoothies come in two versions, regular and supreme, the latter enhanced with protein and yogurt scoops. — Ethan Wolff
