Who makes your favorite salads?
I had a nice salad at Osteria Alba in Little Italy a few weeks ago.

Nice. In TL’s best new restaurants list. We recently tried one from Mandy’s and didn’t think it was worth the “gourmet” markup. What was the price there?

$27 for the Insalata Alba at Osteria Alba. It’s big, too. Much better value than Mandy’s.
It’s amazing to me that a popular Fast Casual chain food salad costs almost the same as a a big salad at a nice upscale restaurant.

Wow those look amazing.
I love the pantheon salad at Pantheon which is so simple but it hits the spot when I feel like something fresh and green. I would never make it at home because … dill … It’s like glitter.
