Whenever I'm in Union Square, City Bakery sucks me in like a giant magnet. Last night, however, an equally strong pull was exerted by 'wichcraft. I stopped in for a favorite sandwich: tangy melted Fontina on crispy white toast with black mushrooms and a touch of white truffle oil. While casting a quick glance over the counter, I spied a pile of cinnamon rolls. It didn't cross my mind to order one (I usually finish my meals with something of a chocolate nature), but the handsome cashier said those magic words: "Would you like me to heat one up?"
I was quite unprepared for the sheer pleasure I was in for! As I pulled apart the layers of warm, eggy brioche, I encountered the most luscious swirl of caramelized cinnamon sugar. It was as though the entire universe of deliciousness was concentrated into one palm-sized pastry.
Lost in sweet delirium, I was fortunately able to remember a scoop imparted to me by the cashier: a new 'wichcraft is planned for the TriBeCa area!
'wichcraft: 49 East 19th Street, (212) 780-0577.
