Editorial Review

Sidewalk chalkboards beckon with such messages as “Bacon loves you,” and the walls glow sunny shades of orange in this cheery upper-Annex lunch spot. Vegan cremini mushroom soup receives a fragrant boost from a splash of truffle oil. Fresh mixed-green salad dressed lightly in a maple-dijon vinai-grette tastes of sun-drenched gardens, though a salad of marinated tuna and couscous really wows, with rich flakes of white flesh—canned, but who’s complaining?—mixed with fluffy, almost creamy couscous. The grilled soppressata sandwich combines a rainbow of spicy salami, caramelized onions, hot peppers, grilled eggplant, fresh basil, havarti and sweet homemade mayo between golden hunks of rosemary focaccia.
