Uncle Jimmy Sandwich ($19)
Ryan H.

Try: Uncle Jimmy Sandwich! Why: Really good Italian sandwich shop and a great addition to UES. Uncle Jimmy Sandwich was layered with Prosciutto, Sopressata, Smoked Ham, Mozzarella, Arugula, and Roasted Reds. It also had Chili Spread, Olive Oil, and Balsamic, which had a nice kick and added flavor. I didn't love the Stirato Bread but everything in between was delicious. I also tried Lil Phil Sandwich with Smoked Ham, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce and Tomatoes. It was a good classic sandwich but I felt it needed some sauce or oil for added flavor. Notes: Small and neat sandwich shop with a few tables inside and outside. Loved seeing the meat display and the Italian ingredients on wall. Workers were friendly and quick. I came on a Saturday during lunch time with a couple people ahead of me in line. I hope more locals discover this shop and I look forward to trying their other sandwiches!

Definitely one of the best spots to eat now on the Upper East Side, another little location similar to the original just opened right off 2nd Ave. Same as all the others so far, but they may soon offer more with access to a bigger kitchen here. For now, get the Uncle John or the Roman, two of the best sandwiches on the menu.

Happened by this place off of 2nd Ave. Settled on the Cousin Anthony; Smoked Chicken, Fresh Mozz, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze, EVOO on Stirato Bread, and I had them add Regina's Calabrian Chili Spread. All the ingredients were fresh and top notch. The heat from the chili spread worked nicely with the crunch and chewiness of the stirato bread. The staff was professional and attentive. The room has a couple of two tops and a table outside. I'll be back.

This place is steeep in $$$$ Overall I liked the sandwich but I wish the bread was better. Don't get me wrong it was good but with better bread it would have been amazing. The base of the sandwich was really really good. Bread was only thing holding back its potential. The ingredients inside the bread are absolutely amazing and is what is carrying the show! The atmosphere in the place is fun and welcoming! Need to try one in their hero bread.

One of the best sandwiches I have bad on the Upper East Side. I have been to the actual place twice since it opened and I have had delivery from this place. The people who work here are very nice. One of the guys remembered me. I usually get the Lil phil sandwich which is smoked ham, provolone cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. It's chefs kiss... sooo good! They have other types of sandwiches as well but I have not tried them. I think this place used to be a barber shop. As you can see in pictures it is not a big space. They have interesting things on the wall too.

Regina's Grocery is a fun new italian sandwich shop on 88th st. The staff is friendly. I've had an uncle chubby twice now and both were pretty good! I'll be back to try the uncle phil since the uncle chubby didn't 100% do it for me. It's a small establishment but there is limited seating and sandwiches come out within ~10 minutes.

Like all things, my impressions are subjective but I detested the stifata bread that makes this place so highly regarded. It's chewy to a point where it feels like tearing leather -- which is so disappointing, because the stuff between the bread is amazing and the sandwich incredibly well built. I went back a second time to try it on a hero, but that wasn't so great, either. I'll stick with Milano's Market instead.

I almost cried when I took the first bite of this sandwich. I did cry a little I'm not ashamed. I got two traffic tickets on my way here and the cashier noticed and turned my day completely around with his kindness. Thank you, and god bless.

Awe man where do I start, this place is great. It such a small shop with the most welcoming staff. Walked in and off the bat already knew what I wanted because I saw this spot on social media. Came to try the Uncle Jimmy Sandwich and I was not disappointed. The whole overall sandwich was delicious. Tasted fresh, great amount, looks appetizing and is just overall a 10/10. It is a small shop but you will find seating wether it's inside or outdoor seating they have. Also it's a great place for just on the go super fast service. Love this place !

UNCLE JIMMY !!!

The sandwiches are good, the service is friendly and efficient. I'm not sure what the hype is though...but it is a reliable sandwich shop.

Great sandwiches. I'm a big fan of the Uncle Chubby, The UES location is small so it is basically a take out spot.

I really love their antioxidant serum, hair oil can be used for scalp, chemical sunscreen and…read moretheir product are soo cheap and high quality ! definitely try it, the store staff are super friendly and recommend good products , even their toilet paper is of great value !

Okay, this saddens me, but I've visited & lived in NYC for decades & have a Trader Joe's burlap bag…read moreolder than the median age of this store's workers. I'm struggling between staying positive & candor: the problem is that the average worker in NYC is less bright than most of the rest of the country. Ouch. I know. But I have encountered this very roughly a hundred times over the years. Sadly, this TJ's follows the above pattern. It's a case-study that perhaps Harvard's business school should analyze: take a great franchise, slowly muck it up by degrading ingredients, fill it with well-meaning folk, and ignore, forgive me, intelligence in the hiring process. I'll only cite recent examples, though I've a treasure trove: [1] no TJ steel cut oats, polite friendly inquiry when it might be re-stocked, answer "discontinued," fully stocked next day after I've bought Bob's Red Mill via walmart.com; [2] all raisins gone in the entire store, again cheerful what's-up? answer "will get in next month," fully stocked next day, ditto w/ walmart.com for organic (!) alternative 1/3 (!!) the price; [3] No skim milk of any variety (organic, reg, lactose-free, or from various ruminants) at 8p, gentle inquiry, "we received more at noon & hope to bring it out," then 1 employee spends all her time exclusively straightening containers at the back of the top shelf. It's important to add that their former great gift of freeing us from reading each set of ingredients like some rejected script for "Portlandia" has now been replaced by their cutting corners that affect our health and their value. Cases in point, albeit there are many: [1] Palm oil has replaced nearly all other oils in hundreds of their products (I'm not one of these crazies, but palm oil is indeed destroying rain-forests and 'extincting' apex species: 25-30M hectares, the size of ARIZONA (!) https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/16/5111/2024/); it's the least healthy oil in widespread use today; but it is CHEAP. [2] Try to find a breakfast cereal without added sugar; there are none; their shredded wheat with sugar-frost coating is cheaper than w/out. [3] The average age of their apples are 9 to 14 months old https://www.rd.com/article/supermarket-apples-10-months-old/; very little of their fruit is genuinely fresh. I've many more examples than these 6, but you get the idea. If you go 2 hours before closing, you must negotiate a phalanx of boxes and employees darting about re-stacking such that it's hard to even move down the aisles. The place is still pretty clean and the employees friendly, but I'm sorry, it's really a dumbed-down version of a formerly great franchise, and I've been to TJs all over CA, in OH, VA, upstate NY, CT, NJ, OR, just to name a few.

Eden Gourmet Marketplace has become a beloved supermarket in the Gramercy area. Let me list why it…read moreis a wonderful place: Emre, store manager, always greets everyone with a smile. We have developed a congenial friendship which was founded on La Fermière yogurts. Emre knows that I price shop so invariably I know when the time is right to buy these delicious yogurts at Eden. I often buy Siggi yogurts as here they are $1.99 each. The ladies - Dolores, Affou, Mamata, Savita, Tofu - at the checkout are friendly, kind and remember customers. A few speak French which I practice with them. Being originally Greek, the Dolmas in the prepared food section, are plump and particularly tasty. It's worth buying a few to take home. Adam looks taciturn but always is kind to me. He is behind the deli counter preparing sandwiches and always gives me a quarter pound of the Jambon de Paris. Miguel and Medina are also here. A loyalty card is worth having and once having accumulated many points I paid the princely sum of $1.61 for a pretty bouquet of roses in assorted colors that cost $11.99. Now that's a steal! Eden Gourmet is the sister supermarket to my beloved sadly closed Eden Gourmet of 14th street. This too is packed to the brim with fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, dairy, chicken and meats. A large variety of sparkling waters, frozen entrees, ice creams and assorted temptations are here too. A small bakery has cakes and pastries available. I pop in often to get milk or to see what's new and always to say hello to everyone. I always feel happy coming to Eden Gourmet Marketplace!

First and foremost one of the workers/managers here is incredibly rude. We were grabbing a few…read moreitems which are way overpriced and I asked him if he was on line? He very rudely started barking orders at us raising his voice. Sorry but we aren't from whatever dirtbag country you are from. We don't act like that. The girl behind the counter left a lot to be desired, poor communication skills. Go elsewhere.
