Streetlevel: Saltie, One Week In
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.

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

“The rest, no thanks. ”
Yeah – fifi sammiches aren’t my thing. just give me some roast beef or a chicken cutlet on a roll.
Hopefully their coffee and pastries are good.
I do love scotch. Can’t get enough of it.
There are some amazing restaurants in Williamsburg (many more superb ones than in Park Slope) Rob. Not that you’d know that. I’m perfectly happy this place is there, I just don’t like the sound of those sandwiches and I’m bored as hell at work right now and shooting the shit.
You’re just looking for a reason to fight with me, which is so 2008.
oh 11217, can it. if this place was opening up in park slope you’d be yammering non stop about how you and your 5000 friends who recently just moved to the slope can’t wait to try it out. you’re so transparent your last name is probably Scotch
*rob*
The only ones that sounds remotely interesting to me are the ham, gruyere, pickle butter and the wheatberry, chickpea, miso one.
The rest, no thanks.
The Captains Daughter sardine, pickled egg, salsa verde
Little Chef mortadella, pecorino, green olive
The Gam ham, gruyere, pickle butter
Clean Slate wheatberries, chickpeas, miso, pickled vegetables
Longshoreman israeli meatballs, herbs, yogurt
Scuttlebutt tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, feta, olives, capers, greens
Ships Biscuit soft scrambled egg and ricotta
Gotta agree with you Tyburg.
Those sandwiches don’t sound appetizing to me at all.
And I heard it’s overpriced.
What’s an israeli meatball?
And the other sandwich sounds positively nasty.
Janelle – it was the weirdest thing. one week there were owners/employees putting the final touches on the place. I poked my head in to see what was up and ask when they were opening. They said either ‘tomorrow or the day after’ – i stopped by 3 days later just to give a new place some business and there was paper back up in the window with a “Closed” sign in the window. NO idea what happened.
maybe i’ll check out saltie for breakfast this weekend.
@dirty_hipster i didn’t even know L stop opened until a week before it closed and i live around the corner (how long was it there?)
