Chicken blt
Andy V.

One of my favorite things about New York is the amount of quality deli's in any given area. Being able to pop in, get a good sandwich and some soup is what it's all about- I live a simple life. Anyway, on a recent trip to New York City, I was lucky enough to be staying near the Garden Café. It's open 24hrs so I could get my bagel fix any time I wanted. Why are these bagels so freaking good? The shop was small, but wasn't cramped. Had a few tables and chairs for you to sit. A big no loitering sign which tells you to make sure you're done eating within 20 minutes or they'll call the cops- I heart NYC. My first visit I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with bacon. The chicken salad was amazing. The bacon was delicious. The bread was stale. Again, it was probably 2am when I ordered this so who knows how long it had been in that cooler. I let it slide purely out of hunger and ate the good pieces. Plus, the taste of the chicken made up for it. My second trip was for breakfast- a sesame bagel with sausage, egg, cheese. Now this is what I'm talking about! Everything about this breakfast sandwich was perfect. If this sandwich and I went to high school I'd write, "don't ever change" in its yearbook because I loved everything about it. Gooey cheese, a perfectly toasted bagel, and the tasty piece of sausage. I could have this every day. The guys at the counter were always nice. The service was quick and the prices were reasonable, or could even be described as cheap. My breakfast sandwich ran about $4 which is really pretty standard if you ask me and you get a really good meal. Definitely made me a fan of this place and would go back any time I visit NYC again.

Hidden little gem here that I found looking for a roll of paper towels this morning! From the outside it seems like a regular liquor store but once inside ... Great little deli ,very clean and well stocked. Behind the counter is a flattop where they make breakfast to order and other lunch/dinner items ... Couldn't believe how fresh and appealing the items in the case were.. Definitely a lot of care and pride of business exists here. Had the pancakes... Very light and fluffy comparable to any higher end breakfast joint IMO , sausage which was average but very fresh tasting and grilled to order as well. Also had a breakfast croisssant with the same sausage and freshly scrambled eggs on a light and flaky croissant... Perfect! Glad I stumbled onto this great little spot!

On a recent trip to NY, I stayed at the Eventi Hotel on 30th and 6th Ave. There were multiple bodegas in the area with a similar special; breakfast sandwich for $2.99 with a free coffee. I decided to check out Garden Deli because it had more customers than the other two when I walked by. When I cruised in, you could tell the people were regulars. Service was friendly and the dudes behind the counter were busting their asses to get the food prepared. New Yorkers are always in such a hurry. I opted for the two eggs with cheese and bacon on a bagel. It was freaking delicious. Properly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and slightly under-toasted bagel. What more can you ask for? They carry all Boar's Head brand meats, which seemed to be the norm in NY, but not always the case in CA. What else can I say, it's a bodega in NY. But with cheap prices and good service, I would definitely return.

One of the cleanest delis I have visited in New York City. I was impressed at how fresh all the food was, even late at night. The two guys working were very nice and accommodating. Floor and facility were very clean.

So I payed 9$ for a gross af tuna sandwich and a bottle of water there are seats here but apart tyl I'm not allowed to sit in them although I bought food to eat them here so whatever I guess I wouldn't recommend this place and am now standing outside eating this horrible sandwich not because I want to rather it's because it was 9$ for a freaking Tuna sandwich dealing with the bums in the neighborhood thanks

I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.

The menu inside breaks down all of the sandwhiches, you roll up to the deli counter when they say next, spill out your order (add/remove stuff to your order) and you're done. The most overwhelming thing is deciphering the Italian sandwhich menu. I hit up the Italian Hot. Pretty decent! I added sun dried tomatoes...but it would have been just as good without it. Be PREPARED this Sammie has some chili honey liquid /oil sauce they put on it and it's tasty but it's a lot. The staff are friendly - just focused on getting your order and getting it to you so you can enjoy. The wall is pretty interested they have made their own decor out of door panel fixtures.

The line was about 10 people long around 1pm, not terrible - gave me a chance to further investigate the menu and gaze at loads of drool-worthy meats and cheese in the display case. I opted for the L'italiana, which features Prosciutto, Pistachio Cream, Stracciatella, Sun-Dried Tomato, Arugula, though I swapped out the prosciutto for bresaola. Oh man, this bread is legit! And as a yuuuge pistachio fan, that cream is delightful, especially coupled with that creamy stracciatella. Super well-composed sandwich, amazing bread, quality ingredients...a hit! Needless to say, I'll be back in short order to try more of their menu. Good stuff!

I've been here a couple of times and my go-to Sandwich is the Tuna Salad. It's best to get some toppings when coming here for a sandwich such as cheese, bacon, bell peppers, pickles, etc. You can't come here and not get mayonnaise! There's so many different sandwiches to choose from. I noticed that salami, turkey, ham, and pepperoni are all popular sandwich options here. The lines tend to get very long here especially around lunch time. If possible, download the app and order your sandwich ahead of time. I haven't racked up enough points yet to get a free item. Apparently you get a free sub on/for your birthday. I noticed that a couple of workers here tend to get a bit flustered and unprofessional during the lunch rush; "I will quit right now, I don't care". Aside from that, it's a great place to get a satisfying meal for lunch or dinner.

This location, was absolutely not prepared to have this store in nyc. For New Yorkers that never had a sandwich from Jersey Mike's, this location will ruin the brand. I ordered a sandwich for pickup on a rainy night in the weekday, it literally took 1 hour for a cold sandwich that was missing parts of my order! Everyone waiting which was about 30 people were all visibly frustrated and angry. I missed my show because I couldn't even have predicted that ordering from a chain would take this long. They had 3 staff, 1 preparing not pickup orders and managing the register, one making orders with a stack of prepared orders whose names they weren't calling?!? Like how can you be this understaffed for a location like this. Getting someone to ask about your order was nearly impossible. Honestly, I feel bad for the staff working there since this is nyc and you deal with crazies, so one guy who waited 15 minutes getting heated I debated just finishing my sandwich at home because I didn't want to witness craziness Ok-actual sandwich was beyond a disappointment. They got it wrong and to get it fixed would have taken another hour that I didn't have. The bread was stale and cold and hard, there was veryy little meat. I basically ate a vinegar and vegetable sandwich on stale bread I could not picture working in the area and getting lunch here also paying $13 for this quality and chaos

I have three big guys with me and sometimes quick lunches need to be more filling than fast food options, so we chose Alidoro's under Rockefeller Plaza. We could walk to it form the hotel and it was in the middle off all we wanted to show the boys on their first day (first time) in the city. We all chose different sandwiches and they were ready pretty fast. Since the shop itself is not huge, we landed a small space at the window bar with two stools and some standing room. After being in a car and on a flight and in another car all morning, we weren't mad about the standing part. We were all able to share and sample each sandwich, and honestly, we were not disappointed. We were all full and happy when we weren't finished, so what more could we want for a relatively quick NYC meal? Being under the plaza, the restrooms were outside the shop but very close by so we were able to wash hands and such before journeying out into the wild. I would definitely stop back by again on another trip! The guys and I all gave Alidoro's two thumbs up - so 8 thumbs total, if you're counting.
