Ed... would you by any chance be THE same Ed Levine who wrote a rave review, one I've always remembered very fondly, for the Village Voice circa 1983? The book was THE DAIRY HOLLOW HOUSE COOKBOOK (you liked the idea of chilling salad plates, as I remember, among much else); and I was then and remain Crescent Dragonwagon. I've owed you a thank you for many years --- if you are that Ed Levine. And if you are - THANK YOU! (I'm at crescentATdragonwagonDOTcom).

@Prairie: I went on Thursday night and had the same prob: no breaded cutlets, only grilled! Also, they ran out of 7-grain bread and brioche. I got a chicken po boy sandwich though and it was SOOO GOOOD, oh yeah.

You're right about the waste though. Maybe they don't have the capacity to wash lots of dishes? But they they have a lot of waste to deal with. I've never asked them about that before..

@roboppy: Just went for the first time, it's right around the corner from my GF's apartment. Great stuff.

They were out of the breaded chicken cutlets, but were substituting them for grilled breasts. Yummy.

One thing we did notice is the...odd (?)...amount of waste per meal. Plastic cup, paper in tray, paper on sandwich, thin paper napkins. Other than that thanks for the reccomendation!

I ate at Tiny's for the first time a couple weeks ago and I'm totally hooked. Such a satisfying and delicious sandwich for a TINY price (in NYC anyway). I had the chicken parm. Delish.

@sloppydelicious: I'm going tonight, so maybe I'll be eating that for dinner! ;)

@laurelie; I never had brunch there! Thanks for letting me know.

@minoric: This place definitely has their sandwich formula down. :D Except for mushy crab cakes.

Isn't it hard to find a well-executed sandwich? So when can find a place with more than a couple, it's a keeper! So many places just mindlessly pile on ingredients with no thought to taste or texture; this place looks like it got it right. That said, I think crab cake sandwiches rarely succeed...too much breading, or mush, or both.
