No Crust, No Fuss
You might think of the tramezzino -- the Venetian take on the English tea sandwich -- as the Arch Deluxe, or at least the Filet-O-Fish, of Italian fast food: In New York's ever-expanding panini-and-wine-bar world, it lives in the hot-and-crunchy shadow of the more popular pressed panino. Typically served on crustless white bread, cut into neat little triangles, and looking like an overgrown canapé, it practically defies you not to raise a pinkie. Unlike a cucumber sandwich, though, it can pack a serious flavor punch, which explains why even San Domenico owner Tony May has jumped on the sandwich bandwagon with a new tramezzini lunch menu, served at the bar. The selection of $4.50 sandwiches, like vitello tonnato, Gorgonzola and walnut, and prosciutto cotto and fontina, changes daily. (Two tramezzini make a nice light lunch.) There's also an expanded by-the-glass wine list to complement the sandwiches, and not a ciabatta crumb in sight.

Bastille Day Pétanque Tournament
Veuve Clicquot sponsors a day of pétanque -- the French version of boccie -- to mark France's national holiday and benefit the Children's Museum of the Arts. MacDougal Street will be covered with sand to make the courts; 50 top restaurants send teams to compete, and there's a dinner afterward at Restaurant Provence. (July 14; to reserve, call 212-475-7500.)

Night Shift
Not that anyone who lives on Clinton Street is in danger of running out of dining options these days, but here's a new one: The Clinton St. Baking Company, which already has a devoted following for its nothin'-fancy-just-good-eats breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch, has just added dinner to its repertoire. On the menu: lemon pasta with anchovy, fresh garlic, and olive oil; pan-fried Eden Brook trout; and a serious burger plate. And in case anyone misses breakfast, chef Neil Kleinberg will whip up a batch of his killer pancakes packed with enough wild Maine blueberries to satisfy a small grizzly.
