Stepping into Kips Bay Deli, the familiar aroma of grilling meat and fresh bread immediately set…read morethe scene. I knew exactly what I was after: a classic chopped cheese, a true New York staple. And let me tell you, they delivered an experience that was both authentic and incredibly satisfying. The magic started with the patty itself - perfectly seasoned, sizzling on the griddle, and expertly chopped right before my eyes, allowing the savory beef to meld seamlessly with the generous blanket of melted cheese. This wasn't just a sandwich; it was a symphony of textures and flavors. Tucked into a soft, yet sturdy hero roll, the chopped cheese was then adorned with the essential accompaniments: crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and thinly sliced onion, all adding a refreshing counterpoint to the rich, warm filling. Every single bite was a delicious, comforting mess - in the best possible way. The cheese was gooey, the meat was flavorful, and the fresh veggies provided that perfect crunch. To complete this quintessential New York meal, I grabbed a frosty Snapple from the cooler - the sweet, tangy peach flavor was the perfect palate cleanser between bites. And of course, no deli order is complete without a bag of chips. The satisfying crunch of classic potato chips added that extra layer of texture and saltiness, rounding out the whole experience. It's the kind of no-frills, deeply satisfying meal that truly hits the spot, whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or a late-night bite. If you're wandering through the Kips Bay area and find yourself craving a truly authentic and incredibly well-executed chopped cheese, complete with the perfect drink and snack, this deli is absolutely your go-to destination. It's a taste of classic New York that never disappoints.

I ordered for delivery a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich in a spinach wrap with avocado and…read moresome deli cheese. Order arrived within the time frame (delivered on time). It was still warm. Packaged great. The wrap was a decent size. The eggs and bacon were good and the cheese melted. I think it was American though and I'm not a fan of that cheese. It wasn't in the description on grubhub and there was no option to change or choose the cheese. The spinach wrap was an extra $2. I found blue stuff in the wrap... not sure what it is. It's not the marketplaces fault but I will not be reordering anything with the spinach wrap again. Maybe a plain white wrap. So I just ate the inside after seeing the blue stuff. Added avocado too for additional charge. It was slightly overripe but still okay. The deli cheese was sliced perfect. No issue. I would try this bodega again.

Lack of transparency and poor business ethics…read more Dishonest pricing tactics. Hate it when businesses pull the cash vs. credit card pricing trick without any transparency. The sign clearly said $5.99/lb for ginger... no mention of it being a cash price. Yet we were charged $6.23/lb without even being asked how we were paying. When confronted, this Korean guy ripped the sign down and claimed it was the cash price. Seriously? Just because he couldn't remember the price doesn't mean he gets to make up some BS excuse to cover it up. Some of us aren't oblivious and we see through the unspoken words. It's not about the money, it's about honesty and ethics, which he lacks. I said what needed to be said loud enough for all the customer to hear, and left. Tired of this kind of shady behavior.

Just 3 blocks from the park, quick service, varied menu. The restaurant itself is tiny but does have some small tables and counter seating. They have a very nice variety of sandwiches (regular and hot pressed), as well as salads. I ordered a Mediterranean salad with an addition of their crunchy tuna and avocado. This was amazing! The lettuce was so fresh, and it had plenty of healthy and delicious toppings like toasted almonds, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, eggplant, hard boiled egg-- honestly it was probably filling enough on its own without anything else. However, I do think the crunchy tuna brought it up a notch and added a nice serving of protein. Their tuna is so creamy and fresh, it has a lot of texture and flavors from the diced pickles and corn. The avocado was perfect and added more creaminess! It comes with a half pita which was fluffy and flavorful. It also comes with a side of tahini if you want to dress the salad and complement the Mediterranean spices in it. This was an incredibly filling lunch and pretty fairly priced compared to other places in the area. The quality of the food and service were also top notch! Will be coming back to try some of their sandwiches because they looked phenomenal. Love the proximity to the park :) perfect summer spot.
