It's
not Mama Joy's, the Morningside Heights legend that closed last
spring. But Milano Market, which opened in its space on Feb. 1,
deserves to be appreciated for what it is, not what it's
not.
In
addition to a wide array of creative and tasty sandwich
combinations plus the old stand-bys, the deli counter is
well-stocked with meats, cheeses, homemade soups and salads. There
are some unusual fresh-baked breads delivered daily from nine
Manhattan bakeries, a pastry counter stocked with whole cakes,
pastries and cookies, a gourmet cheese counter and a fresh fruit
stand, as well as grocery items that fall under both the "gourmet"
and "every-day" categories. Prices are competitive for such quality
- not as low as one might like (or alumni might remember), but then
again, they aren't that low anywhere else, either. All in all,
Milano Market shapes up as a welcome addition to Morningside
Heights.
