Bottega Falai

Without M. around, figuring what to have for lunch left me paralyzed with indecision. It kept getting later and later until finally I just picked up and left the office, with no clear destination in mind. I dropped by the Duane Reade on an errand and kept walking north until I hit Bottega Falai, the perfect little spot for a solo sandwich. Only today the stellar quality of the sandwich ingredients could not make up for the staleness of the foccacia. Woe is me.
