A while back [I did a comparison](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1eyp9cp/chicken_caesar_wrap_from_milano_market_uws_left/) of both Milanos’ chicken caesar wraps. Westside drenched mine in dressing. They were a little lighter-handed this time, and I added bacon, which improved the wrap dramatically. It does seem like I’ll have to start saying “light on the dressing”, though. Definitely want to try the Milano Special next.
I had some lackluster experiences with these guys shortly after the worst of the pandemic, but I’m glad I’ve given them more chances. I will say their pork-based sandwiches are especially good. This one is their “Ultimate Warrior”, which has pork shoulder, broccoli rabe, provolone, pecorino, pickled red peppers, and mayo. Fantastic sandwich and it would probably now be my first recommendation for anyone new.
[Tried doubles for the first time last month at A&A](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1fpf9xu/recent_eats_buvette_aa_new_arping_joseph_leonard/) and they were amazing. Went to this place after seeing it recommended by one of the DJs I follow on IG, and wasn’t disappointed! Same price, $2.50 apiece, and yes they do roti and other stuff too which I’m keen to try. It’s strictly to-go, but Prospect Park is right there.
Hadn’t been to this Village fixture in quite a while. They’re cheaper than, say, Joe’s or Bleecker Street, so you kinda know what you’re getting, but I have to say this mushroom slice was better than what I’ve had from them before. I’ve gotten slices with next to no cheese but they seem to have stepped up their game a bit.
Never been to the actual restaurant but they had a pizza booth for a street festival. I can’t say I was terribly impressed. Not the worst I’ve ever had, but definitely below-average for what you’d expect from a place that seems to desire a higher reputation. Their Yelp rating ain’t the highest; [I’m not the only dissatisfied one](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/19deb88/roscioli_nyc_is_awful/).

[Migliorelli cider](https://www.fiveacrefarms.com/farmers/migliorelli-farm/) @ Union Square Greenmarket
IMO, one of the best I’ve had. Their pear cider is great too, but if you have to pick one, I’d say go with the apple.
Those doubles especially 👌
How was de hot pot? Been wanting to go to try their doubles, curious how it compares to other joints from you experience
Your original milanos market post made me swing by and get a wrap! i never thought a chicken caesar would be so good.
Happy Court Street has bounced back.
Thank you Sandwich Yoda!
I used to go to school near milanos and got the H10 on particularly frigid winter nights. Highly recommend.
