Profile

From Craft to Craftbar to 'wichcraft: If Tom Colicchio continues his downward price spiral, he'll soon be operating a souvlaki cart. We won't complain if it's anywhere near as enticing as this stylishly minimalist sandwich shop, with its gleaming lablike kitchen and tantalizing melted-cheese aroma. Breakfast is available all day, or at least breakfast sandwiches are—frittata on ciabatta, for instance, or fried egg and bacon with Gorgonzola. And even though we love the refreshing, fastidiously assembled Sicilian tuna with shaved fennel and lemon, and the tangy grilled Gruyère with caramelized onions on rye, not to mention panini-pressed pork loin, coppa, and fontina on crusty country bread, we try to leave room for deftly seasoned soups and side salads. Buttery blueberry scones, irresistible lemon bars and ganache-filled cream'wiches, and comfortable mezzanine seating set this sandwich shrine apart from the proliferating panini pack. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Extra

The cream-filled chocolate cupckaes baked by Karen DeMasco are supremely moist, uncommonly rich, and deeply flavored.

Spent the weekend in the city - and searched out 'witchcraft to try. It did not meet expectations. The sandwich selection was interesting and diverse - but the execution was poor. I had high hopes for the Pulled Pork Sandwich but the woman...Read More

Again, great lunch / quick snack option

Slightly expensive, but very well made sandwiches. I am a little disappointed at their beverage selection, though. I feel that it's not diverse enough. Again, taking away the wait, this is a solid lunch or quick snack option if I...Read More
