Well worth the bread.
NOSH
Salumè Opens
What: Get schooled on real panini (not pressed and always sliced to order) by a born-and-bred Milanese in the Montesorri school-retro space. Reward a lesson learned with chocolate salami ($10) — a cake made to resemble meat.
Why: Try four of the scientifically proportioned bites for $24 (there are 30 combos total), which will taste even better when delivery service starts by (we hope) Vespa.
When: Opens today. Daily, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
Where: 330 W. Broadway, at Grand St. (212-226-8111).
BUY
VeraMeat Jewelry
What: Sneak a peek at Vera Balyura’s newest monster-themed baubles (pterodactyl skeleton with pirate head necklace) as well as an assortment of online classics ($20-$270).
Why: First ten shoppers earn specially designed tees; every guest who mentions DailyCandy will receive 30 percent off his/her purchase.
