Though I'm missing the big poetry events, I will be able to eat a very big sandwich...you have to go to the back room to get it and then you get to banter with the chef...especially when Ramona asks for Broccoli Rabe and Provolone instead of the featured meaty meat sandwiches. Here's the skinny on the top secret savory sandwiches and the best cannoli in town:
