Bite 14

Every ingredient is hand selected from New York Citys most connoisseur-praised establishments. The greens are organic, the bread from Balthazar, mozzarella from Joes Dairy, and croissants from Ceci-Cela. As a result, Bites menu is also an Eden for the health-conscious as well as for the epicurean elite. Bites menu consists of a fusion of european american and med cuisine with unique twists. The frozen naked mojitos, are a refreshing non-alcoholic version of the popular favorite summer drink, made with mint and crushed ice ($3). The exotic tuna sandwich ingredients include yellow curry, golden raisins and red cabbage ($6). Salads, such as the Mediterranean, includes generous portions of baby greens, hummus, sautéed eggplants, roasted pepper tapenade, chopped salad, roasted almonds & pine nuts ($7).

Bite is the brainchild of Ami Melamed, a resident New Yorker who attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for fashion and graphic design but had no formal culinary education. Ami chose to create a niche sandwich shop based on one simple principle: to offer the best ingredients for a value, and has lead to the successful establishment of two locations and ambitions for additional expansion in 28. This past July marks the fifth anniversary for the opening of Bite.
