I seriously can't believe I haven't been here before. I went to NYU and have spent a considerable number of days and nights up and down West 3rd. I've also been to the Half Pint in Midtown East, so I really can't believe I haven't been here before tonight.
I obviously had a beer, after going cross-eyed looking at the miles of pages of brews they offer. I also had a sandwich (way too late to be eating a sandwich, but I hadn't eaten since noon) that was far better than I expected and deserves to be described. When I order food at a bar I expect bar food- decent but not stellar. I'd go back this Half Pint any day of the week for another one of these, even if I don't drink. I ordered (and rapidly devoured) a buffalo chicken with mozzarella and pesto on cibatta and balsamic drenched greens. The pesto must have been homemade (or the best Cisco order ever!) because it was rich, salty and flavorful. The mozzarella was thick, fresh and the consistency of the mozzarella I ate in Florence. I'll be dreaming about this sandwich until I make it back.
