SOHO—Two's a trend. Reps for Salume, the new Soho sandwich shop, announce they'll be serving a special Cornetto Breakfast in the mornings, starting at 7:30: "The cornerstone will be the namesake cornetto, a hard-to-find cousin of the French croissant whose elusive recipe was the chief subject of owner Michele Colombo’s frustrations over the last two months. Having finally tracked down the recipe that inspired his favorite bakers back in Milan, he is now proudly baking cornettos fresh each morning." They'll also have breakfast salads, Italian cereal and eggs, and breakfast paninis. [EaterWire]
