📍 Messy, Greenwich Village, NYC
The team behind Lighthouse (which I’ve also heard great things about) opened this casual Mediterranean spot a couple months ago and I’d been meaning to check it out
Wow, it was SO good, way better than I even expected based on the laid back, hole in the wall vibes on Sullivan Street
The chicken and steak sandwiches were both excellent: perfectly cooked meat (especially the chicken which was super juicy) and the other ingredients (salad, amba, tahini) all added a lot to the sandwiches.
They also layer the ingredients in the pita so that you get a bit of everything in each bite which I thought was a pretty pro move. They’re not the biggest sandwiches but they pack a punch and at $11 each are a great deal. Beware that — as the name implies — they are a bit messy to eat.
I also got a side of the “addictive cabbage” which comes in the bowls and I had high hopes for based on some reviews I read but I thought it was just alright (basically just lightly cooked, peppery cabbage)
Pro tip: get a side of chipotle mayo, it’s better than average and really flavorful, perfect to add a bit to the sandwiches
The place is cute with a few seats both inside and outside, and Washington Square Park is only two blocks away if you wanna go have a little picnic like I did (at the dog park with Rooni in my case today). The staff was also super friendly and helpful.
Overall loved this spot and will definitely be back for lunch or a quick dinner soon!
