Monday at noon. Marlow & Sons is a lovely spot for a meal. Walk through the shop in the front to the dining area, and you feel as if you have left the city. This is a charming, sweet, calm, little restaurant serving well crafted food.
The market salad is a generous plate of assorted, crisp greens, ever so slightly under-cooked hard boiled egg quarters, red onions, toasted bread crumbs served with a dressing that changes daily. The salad is lightly dressed, unlike salads served in so many places, both high and low, where the greens are drowning.
Today's house made ham (actually from Marlow & Daughters' butcher shop down the street) and cheese sandwich has sliced summer squash inside and is dressed with a grainy mustard. This toasted sandwich is served on fabulous dark bread studded with sunflower seeds. It also comes with fresh, crisp salad greens, lightly dressed.
The Italiano sandwich was packed with Italian meats--prosciutto, salami, mortadella, presumably all from Marlow & Daughters--and cheeses. It was served on a fresh, crusty roll that was not a baguette, but certainly not your average hero roll either. Again, a bit of salad greens rounded out your plate.
