"In a closet-like space at 128 7th Avenue near 18th Street, The Commons Chelsea functions mainly as a kitchen with a couple of sunny tables outside and counter ordering inside from wall-mounted menus; a regular special is a porchetta sandwich ($12): a couple of fat-rimmed garlicky slices served warm on a round squishy roll with salsa verde slathered on the pork (tasting like the salsa I’ve had in Florence on boiled meat) — the sandwich is wonderful tasting but an incredible mess to eat, so maybe bring some gloves." - Robert Sietsema
