Nope, that's not a typo - it really should be spelled as Wichcraft,
precisely because it is not a heretical practice but rather a restaurant
that is devoted to 'wiches - or sandwiches if you want the longer name for
the food. Sandwiches at Wichcraft are made fresh from the best ingredients
such as prime cheeses, seasonal produce, and slow-roasted meaty fillings
that go perfectly with their breads so that only the best sandwiches reach
the customers.
If you should be intrigued by a restaurant that concentrates its culinary
efforts on making sandwiches (and developing a great reputation in New York
City as well), then you should head for Wichcraft which is found within 397
Greenwich Street, at Beach Street, and features an impressively clean
kitchen where the 'wiching starts every day. Upon entering this minimalist
establishment, you are immediately greeted by the fantastic scent of melted
cheese - and who has never been captivated by that familiar aroma? Though
some sandwiches are designated as breakfast fare, such as the combination
fried-egg-bacon-and-Gorgonzola sandwich, and the frittata-with-ciabatta-
bread blend, they are still offered throughout the day to anyone who favors
them. You can also try other offerings including the country bread (with
crust) served with fontina, coppa, and Panini-pressed pork loin at one go;
and the grilled Gruyere combined with rye bread slices and caramelized
onions. There is also the Sicilian tuna sprinkled with lemon and shaved
fennel, if you prefer. To fill those hard-teach-corners, you can order side
salads and soups, cream'wiches stuffed with ganache, lemon bars, and
blueberry scones as well as other additional side dishes.Food is priced from $5.50 to $9.50, which makes Wichcraft a popular yet
inexpensive place to eat. Wichcraft's New York City location is said to
offer an American traditional menu of sandwiches and soups. The restaurant
opens at 7 am from Monday to Thursday and closes on those days at 8:30 pm.
On Friday it still opens at 7 am but closes at 6:00 in the evening. On
Saturdays and Sundays, Wichcraft opens a bit later at 8:30 am and closes at
6:00 in the evening. The restaurant does serve breakfast and lunch, but you
can also opt for delivery service (if you live in the area of West Side
Highway to Broadway or Chambers Street to Canal Street), or simply choose
take-out as a dining option. No, this sandwich shop does not allow
reservations, but why would you need to do that? You can easily take your
sandwiches with you back to the office or head back home to feast on them.
And no, sorry, there are no alcoholic drinks (not even lite beers) sold in
Wichcraft. You may pay for your 'wiches with Visa, MasterCard, Discover,
Diners Club, and American Express. Wichcraft has created such a very good reputation for serving very good
sandwiches that in 2004 the Best of New York Awards gave it the Best
Sophisticated Sandwich award. The same awards in 2005 granted the eatery
the Our Heroes award as well. Furthermore, a write up about Wichcraft was
published in Cheap Eats Guide 2006.
