If you venture past Steinway on 30th street, into the land of Sicilian accents and cigar-smoking men in suits in front of "members only" clubs, the small grocery shop Sorriso should not escape your attention. Paralyzed in the aisle as we ogled the array of mouth watering products, we were interrupted by a new friend offering us thick wedges of soft&white-as-a-babe's-bum-before-spanking home made (every hour) mozzarella -- and while the Italian sprinkled our tongues with slices of sausage, we whipped out our $$, and left the shop enriched with two pounds of that better-than-a-milking-breast mozza, a basil-tomato-sausage (custom made, big enough for two, and only $6.50), and a sandwich the angels would weep for. Due to an unforeseen onset of rapaciousness no pictures are available of the die-by-panino, but let it be said that our taste buds were opened by a touch of balsamico, then tickled by the spiciness of the hell-hot salami, and finally embraced by the salty fattiness of the lush cheese, a singular experience comparable only to the the tears of the compassionate Madonna soothing your existential pain.
The mozzarella below will be sacrificed tonight for a pizza, but we will not fail to follow-up on the use of any remnants of this piece of paradise.
