The neatly lettered menu board has all the Italian classics and originals to get on a roll or hero. We don't call them wedges or grinders or hoagies in Queens. AY! It's a Hee-Ro! You slice open a long crusty loaf, pack it with meat, cheese and dressing and that's a sandwich! On my way home, I come over the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, hang a left onto 14th Ave and get parking across the street. I'm looking at the sausage & peppers or maybe chicken, eggplant, meatball or shrimp parmigiana, but then I spy the Anti-Chicken Parm and I'm drooling for it on a hero. The promise of that sandwich was delivered in the chicken cutlet with vodka sauce & mozzarella and layered with salty, meaty prosciutto. Mmm-Mm, what a great sandwich. As tasty as the sandwich was, it is on the pricey side, so I'm not going to be doing an $18 sandwich every day of the week, even though one hero could feed 2 people. I know I'll be back soon enough, though.

Having struck out on my last few Cubans, I was confident Tony's description of roast pork, ham, Swiss, pickle & mustard would deliver. After taking my order, one of the many guys behind the counter dipped into the back for 15 minutes, which seemed like an exceptionally long time for a sandwich. I took my sandwich to eat at home. The sandwich was pressed and toasted as a Cuban should be, and it was filled with about half a pound of ham, no roast pork. In addition, there was so much mustard on the sandwich that it upset my stomach. Had I wanted a ham and cheese panini, I would have ordered one. If the person who took my order told me they were out of pork, I would have happily changed my order.

Open 24/7?? Who does that anymore? Except maybe if you're an all-night gas station, but a deli?…read more That just works in the city that never sleeps because NYC's Finest, Bravest & Strongest are working around the clock, too and come here at all hours of the night. The menu is HUGE! The printed one is 4 pages long, all in a tiny font. Different variations of breaded chicken cutlet, grilled chicken, roast beef, pastrami, corned beef, turkey are combined with American cheese, mozzarella, muenster, provolone, pepper jack on rolls and heroes to make some awesome sandwiches. Toss in some balsamic, honey mustard, bacon, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, red peppers, lettuce, tomato & mayo and you'll have lunch for days. Most of the sandwiches are named by their contents like the Buffalo Chx, but many have unique names like the Corona, the Fat Cat or the Gimp. Then you have names to honor the 24 hr workers like the NYPD, FDNY & DSNY. Don't forget about the hamburger section of the menu, which has like 36 items listed. I'm not exactly sure what a Twin Chzburger Deluxe Couch is, but I have an idea and it kinda scares me. Cherry Valley is a little out of the way here in Northern Whitestone, Queens, which is why I haven't come here before, but I'm going to have to make it a personal mission to come back and try everything.

Nothing over the top or special about this place other than it being my neighborhood spot. It's literally a nyc Deli and they also have alll the snacks and drinks you could think of/want after a night out. That being said, people typically come here for the same reason so expect it to be packed after hours. Also, in case you were thinking there are NO vapes, tobacco, paper products available here Give Cherry Valley a shot across the street and compare the two with your boo and make it fun or somethin, see which one y'all prefer!

I stopped by LENNY'S for a chocolate croissant for a quick and reliable breakfast. After almost…read morefinishing the whole croissant i noticed something was off, very off. To my horror i had been consuming an ungodly amount of mold with every bite of that horrible croissant. Only god knows how long it had been sitting out. Of course when I noticed this I went back to the deli to tell them. All they could do is give me my 4$ back and tell me to go to a doctor. Now where I messed up is giving them the croissant back instead of sending it off to the health department. Mind you I had a 14 hour flight a few days after this visit to LENNY'S. Horrific! This croissant made me ill of course, and to this day I cannot eat chocolate croissants, I can still feel the webs of mold in my throat.

( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.

Especially the "Desi Boy" slice and the "white truffle chicken cutlet" slice. I also have to mention their vodka slice with sesame crust Everything in this place is high quality, even their regular slices. Their sandwiches are pretty incredible too, and you can tell that the bread is fresh made in house-- you don't feel bloated or overly stuffed after eating them! The owner is super friendly and even gave us a couple extra slices to try to complete our "pie" when we had already ordered a small variety of slices. The staff are all very friendly and it feels very comfortable and less stuffy than some of the other pizzerias in the area. Happy to give this place my business.
