May ‘Snice
After what felt like a long and relentless Winter, it is suddenly May. Here, in New York City, we kicked off the month with high temps, summer-like humidity, and plenty of sunshine. To end a whirlwind week at work, I got to go to a Friday night game at Yankee Stadium for the first time this season, where the Yanks beat the Chicago White Sox,6-4.
Following a great Yankee comeback and a much-needed good night’s sleep, I decided to check out a new vegetarian joint in the neighborhood, called ‘Snice. I dragged along one of my favorite vegans-by-association, Amy, who is always down for a new food adventure. Sometimes I secretly hope that I will convert her by feeding her delectable vegan treats.
Look closely for Amy and me in the reflection
From the vast and colorful chalkboard menu, it was difficult to decide what to have – everything sounded so yummy.
Decisions, decisions
Taking into account some recos from the friendly staff, we decided to go halfsies on two sandwiches: a smoked tempeh wrap and a “meatball” sub (with Daiya vegan cheese).
Of the two, my favorite was the meatball sub, because it was served warm, on a crusty baguette. I loved the smoked tempeh, but I thought it could be improved if it were grilled on the outside. The raw wrap was a little chewy for my liking.
Because we decided to eat in, we got fresh, colorful side salads with both sandwiches, for $8.75 each. We could just barely finish our meals, because the portion sizes were very generous and hearty.
Needing to grab a quick dinner prior to an evening meeting, I returned to ‘Snice tonight to try the seitan souvlaki, one of the other sandwiches that came highly recommended (and was DELISH). I should have kept my dinner plans under “wraps” (if you will), because a few moments after ordering, I caught Beth trying to sneak around my turf on her way back from Soul Cycle. Sneaky vegans. She got the smoked tempeh and a mango smoothie.
I am pretty sure I’ll be hitting this place at least a couple of times a week, with old friends and new. With so many fresh and tasty vegan options, ‘Snice is sure to become a neighborhood fave all year round.
Now, if they could only open a location in midtown, I’d be covered morning, noon, and night.
