    I had a muffaletta from Two Boots at Rock Center, and it was perhaps the worst sandwich I have ever eaten -- crumbly bread, no olive paste, horrible tasting cold cuts -- basically inedible.

      I liked the ones at Schlotzsky's but it seems that they closed up shop here in the NY Metro area.

        Has anyone had the Muffaletta at Two Boots? I noticed it yesterday for the first time, grabbing a slice at the one below Rockefeller Center. I'd be interested to know how it is...

          the one from murray's is quite good, though not in the same league as central grocery - they seem to make their own "olive salad", it doesn't have all that oil that gives you heartburn just unwrapping it. however, i don't want a replica - i'd prefer to save that treat for when i am in new orleans. i would, get it from murray's again, actaully had a jonesing for one yesterday but went somewhere else instead.

            Central Grocery is alive and well, by the way. I was there a few weeks ago.

            See this post too.

              Come to Bklyn. Tempo Presto on 5th Ave in Park Slope does a good one. Also, I hear that Stan's Place on Atlantic Ave is solid.

              And, while we're on N.Orleans, if you love Cafe du Monde coffee, I hope you all know that you can still get it in Chinatown at the neighborhood grocery stores for under $4/can.

                I'm not sure how good they are but I saw some at Murray's Cheese on Bleeker the other day.

                  Let me know. I still have a sealed jar of Central Grocery's olive spread in the fridge from pre-Katrina. Saving it for a special occasion.

                    though not traditional (as in central grocery style in new orleans), i love the muffelleta at financier on stone street. they only have it wednesdays though.
