Reminder: Stuzzicheria’s Sandwich Nook Opens Today: Just in case you forgot over the long weekend, the sandwich shop at Stuzzicheria called Pane Panelle opens for lunch today on Church St. (at Walker). You can get a rundown of what's on offer over here, and be warned that if you're looking for a traditional Sicilian spleen sandwich, you'll be getting tongue instead.
