Every sandwich, like the "New York PLT" here, is served on a fresh-baked ciabatta roll — a major step up over the traditional deli kaiser roll.

Not all of Eataly's breakfast sandwiches are created equal. The New York PLT above, for instance, is a bit of a pancetta overload in my opinion. It's a well-known fact that the actual star of the BLT is the tomato, not the bacon. And in this respect, the PLT could use, say, heirloom tomatoes to make it stand out.

That said, I'm nitpicking here — I'd happily eat the PLT again, for breakfast or lunch (or really any time you want to give me one). And at $5.80, it's a steal compared with even the average NYC corner deli — especially in the more touristy parts of Manhattan.
