"Tivoli is a town that’s beautiful enough to make you consider buying and restoring an old farmhouse à la The Notebook, but its biggest attraction is Tivoli General’s sandwiches on housemade focaccia. Classic options like Italian ham and turkey will be a welcome addition to any picnic spread, but they also do some great specials, like a dolma sandwich with smashed grape leaves, red pepper cream, and sundried tomatoes. On weekend nights, you can stop by for small plates and natural wine, which is the perfect date situation to discuss your favorite types of ceramics and make future plans to check out the yarn shop down the street." - anne cruz
