    Inside Sandwich Menu
    Sidney Z.

    After an early morning walk to Prospect Park on this not so cold Saturday morning, us three were walking back to our (actually their) condo, but stopped on the way to pick up breakfast at Gertie's on Vanderbilt. This small restaurant is the satellite of Gertrude's right around the corner. Both are excellent! The menu here at Gertie's was "Classic Jewish Deli" except for this unique twist - their sandwiches! These offbeat but delicious sandwiches were very impressive; and I fell in love with all of them. I chose the Egg + Cheese sandwich with cheddar, pickled peppers, Gertie's hot sauce and bacon. Wow, did I enjoy this sandwich! So much so, guess where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast?

    Egg and Cheese with Bacon

    Gertie is already packed! At 11:15am on a Sunday, I waited a total of 45 minutes. I tried the Egg and Cheese with Bacon Challah bread. It was really tasty and I enjoyed the peppers and hot sauce on it. However, I'm not sure it is worth $16. I also tried the babka, which I was lucky to get as a new one just came out of the oven making it nice and warm. It wasn't as sweet as some I have had but I enjoyed it. I also tried the lime rickey, which is overpriced at $6, but pro tip--ask them to add grenadine! Everyone seemed to be enjoying their sandwiches. There were no bagels left, so can't comment on those. The service was top notch and friendly, everyone was working diligently to get orders taken, food made and delivered. The inside is fairly small in the front with a few bar top seats. This is a great addition to the neighborhood, but comes at a steep price point. I'll come back when I want to splurge!

    Came to Gertie for a quick bite, we ordered the egg and cheese on a plain bagel. And grabbed two plain bagels on the side. The bagels themselves were very chewy and did not have the quality we are usually expecting from an NYC bagel

    "GERTIE is a modern "Jew-ish" deli and appetizing shop inspired by New York's great bagel institutions. " I AM a Gertie girl! I schlepped* from Bay Ridge to Grand Street numerous times to eat her chopped veggie cheese sandwich! What a sandwich, schlepping under the BQE to get to that sandwich.. worth it! Then, Gertie closed this past June looking for new home.. I stopped over the summer at Gertrude's* on Carlton to ask the Manager when the new Gertie's was to open. "Don't worry Fawn it's in the works!" Well.. here I am standing in front of 602 Vanderbilt Avenue with a huge smile! I opened the door to a packed house and pleasant order salutations: "Ernie, your schnitzel is ready!" Gertie's menu is a bit short and sweet; bagels, latkes and sandwiches. Bagels your way, if you are a Yenta kvetch* there is the Yenta Sandwich and latkes with assorted toppings. I previewed the menu before coming in and was leaning heavy on the Tuna Melt but then.. I totally switched gears and did a Costanza* ordered the Egg and Cheese on a whole wheat bagel with Turkey pastrami and a house made Black Cherry soda. There is only a small counter seating and that's it thus, when I heard "Fawn, Turkey pastrami egg and cheese.." I ate it outside. *Nu, you ask? How was it? The egg and cheese on the sesame bagel was delicious, the pickled peppers added a kick in my touchas* and I loved the turkey pastrami but a tad salty. The soda was lackluster and sorry to say, overpriced. What I loved about the new digs: the customer service is still outstanding, the quality of the food is excellent and love the menu options. I also loved the wall as you enter that is nostalgic to the Gertie's on Grand. I do miss the size of the other location, I love to sit and enjoy my meal and even if I had a seat at the window, too packed. The big letdown: no chopped veggie cheese. C'mon Gertie list it as limited edition.. How many *Mazel tovs: 5 602 Vanderbilt is bookmarked in my iPhone. *** Jewish Glossary *schlepped: move with effort *yenta: a woman who is a busybody *kvetch: a complainer *Costanza: ordering the opposite from what you intended as in Seinfeld, George orders the opposite: chicken salad on rye, untoasted, with a side of potato salad and tea, which is the exact opposite of his usual tuna on toast *nu?: Well? *touchas: posterior *Mazel tov: good luck or good fortune Gertie's: 602 Vanderbilt Avenue Take 2 train to Grand Army Plaza, exit at Plaza Street East/Vanderbilt Walk @7 minutes

    Sesame bagel

    Cute shop nice decor and pleasant vibe. $14 for two bagels w/ cream cheese without any other add ons is expensive even for the neighborhood. Limited bagel and schemer varieties.

    Bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel. With Gertie hot sauce and pickled peppers!

    Amazing bagels that they make in house! Super busy but worth the wait. They handed out samples for people in line which is awesome. Huge backyard with tons of outdoor seating too!

    Insanely priced. Bacon egg and cheese came to $17 and some change and was average. Go across the street to Brooklyn bagel shop instead

    I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.

    The two guys on your front line ... one is VERY good (super polite) and the other definitely needs…read moreto take pointers from his coworker. Bagels are okay; they're fine. Menu items are a bit high. My absolute favorite thing about this place is that there's SEATING. Love that !!! Not sure I would return though. The prices are a little high. Just being honest.
