Last week The New York Times brought word that Saltie, a collaboration between totwo Diner alumnae, chef Caroline Fidanza and Rebecca Collerton, as well as Elizabeth Schula from Il Buco, was about to open at Havemeyer and Metropolitan. We’ve passed by this week a few times, and the place seems to be jumping at certain hours. Their main fare is sandwiches, but definitely don’t expect chicken wraps or the like: combinations include the Longshoreman—Israeli meatballs, herbs, yogurt—or The Captain’s Daughter—sardine, pickled egg, salsa verde. The small shop also offers gourmet ice creams, pastries, and more. GMAP
