Given our druthers, we’d be sipping Campari in Capri right now, living the ultimate Mediterranean life.
But, instead, we’re stuck in cubicleland, so we’ll settle for the ultimate Mediterranean deli. My Befana, a food bar and delivery service, opens today. Mealtime in Soho will never be the same.
Pop into the charming industrial space for soups, sandwiches, salads, wine, and beer. To stay or to go, lunch or dinner.
The magic happens in the glass-walled kitchen where chef/owner Daniele Baliani (San Domenico, Le Cirque) and his team prepare the daily bundles that may be the smartest alternative to not cooking in the city. (Like you could ever whip up slow-roasted lamb with tzatziki sauce, a Provençal roast chicken club with olive tapenade and crispy pancetta, or grilled snapper filet with Portuguese salsa verde in your own kitchen.)
Select your day’s meals from the menu. Then decide how often you want your rations delivered. Business dinner Tuesday? Skip it. Going away for the weekend? They’re totally flex, as long as you order a minimum package.
All the benefits of having a personal chef without the hassle. At reasonable rates to boot.
An evil plot designed to keep you chained to your desk forever?
At least you’ll be well fed.
My Befana, 116 West Houston Street, between Sullivan and Thompson Streets (888-623-3262 or mybefana.com).
