La Francisca Feria de Campo

"One of the best-kept secrets for lunch on the go in Palermo Soho is La Francisca Feria de Campo. This deli offers excellent, freshly prepared sandwiches in unique combinations such as smoked pork tenderloin, grilled eggplant, and cheese, or, say, prosciutto, sun-dried tomato, arugula, and cheese. Four outgoing women, eager to practice their English, oversee the lively, brightly hued, kitschy scene. And La Francisca’s retail selection of local microbrews and wines, as well as pickles, preserves, cured cheeses, and salamis, are great souvenirs. Sandwiches are made to order—so go early to avoid long lunchtime lines. By Travesías"
