Cafe Panino Mucho Giusto

"This is where West Villagers hang: The small shop with a comfy, wood-clad interior and friendly staff peddles panini — try the chicken with generous slices of tomato and avocado — soups, breakfast pastries, beer, wine, and coffee beverages, the latter good and strong. Don’t miss the apricot and custard danish." - Robert Sietsema

"This rustic place is equal parts sandwich shop and coffee bar and the sandwiches and salads are excellent, but the coffee just so-so. No matter, its patrons (including me) love it anyway, and the comfortable tables, the hidden back room, and the communal picnic table, as well as the seats outside in the sun, make it one of the few true neighborhood hangs left in the West Village." - Robert Sietsema
