$25 AND UNDER; A Surprise From Bologna Warms a Village Table
HERE’S a tip from the boys at the WXOU bar on Hudson Street, whispered over pints. Just walk into Da Andrea, that little joint across the street, and order a plate of tigelle ($8.50). Do it even before you’ve looked at the menu, before you’ve asked for a short glass of wine, before anything. Biscuits are involved. It takes a while to make.
