"Pasta Flyer is a fast food restaurant opened by chef Mark Ladner, located on the northern edge of Greenwich Village. It offers affordable counter-service with plates of fusilli and penne for no more than $8.75 apiece. The highlight is the chicken parm sandwich, priced at $10, which is praised for its execution and ingredients, including fried chicken breasts in garlic bread crumbs, provolone, grated pecorino and parmesan, romaine lettuce with Meyer lemon puree, and spicy tomato sauce. The sandwich is noted for its clarity of flavor and ranks highly among chicken sandwiches in NYC." - Ryan Sutton
