The Godfather
Dan A.

A small deli/convenience market they are located in a residential neighborhood. On a Sunday, I visited Varsi for the Italian chicken hoagie-as featured on "Best thing I ever ate." Unfortunately, they were out of the Chicken cutlets. The nice lady mentioned weekdays are better as they usually sellout or have big orders weekends. So I ordered The Godfather with hoagie ( the way to go) bread. Filled with Prosciutto, Soppressata, Capi (sliced to order) fresh mozzarella cheese & roasted peppers, it was very good. Lessened the miss on the Cutlet sandwich. Definitely a locals spot and small & charming deli. Will be back next time I'm in NYC (but will call ahead to confirm the Chicken cutlet status)

Arinchini!!!!

Excellent little grocery store. We get the fresh bread from here and cold cuts. I noticed on the menu there was several interesting soups listed for today. Lobster bisque will definitely be on my list next time we are here. We got a couple arinchini that we heated up at home and it had a nice crispy outside with a delightful meat filling and with a bit if cheese I side of it. Operators was friendly and prompt. Was actually fun people watching here while I was waiting for the cold cuts! I love the NY culture!

a variety of meats in a display case

Since the smelly deli in College Point closed down, this is my main deli now for Italian sandwiches. They make them HUGE and so delicious. The raviolis are amazing! The hot peppers with cheese in them are the bomb. Their meat, bread and cheese is always fresh! Love this place! Check it out!

Amazing quality... just not enough IMO

Cherry Valley is a neighborhood staple.. "IYKYK" kinda thing. Been going here since high school and…read moreremember the food tasting way better than now (could be the nostalgia, could be all the alcohol in my system when I would typically visit this place). Nothing special other than it being my neighborhood spot. It's honestly a quick grab and go spot, literally a nyc Deli but they 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 Grab another sub across the street at Christina's and compare the two with your boo and make it fun or somethin, see which y'all prefer! Me? I'm going w Cherry Valley everytime

Old school styled deli open 24 hours. Serving up some of the best sandwiches in NYC . I stopped by…read moreAfter 3am this morning. My husband and I took a late night drive, and afterwards wanted something to eat . I ordered the Patriot sandwich on a roll. It consisted of steak, bacon, mozerella, mustard,mayo and cheddar cheese. The sandwich was 20/10. It was fresh, cheesy and very meaty lol. They have all different types of sandwiches, with cool NYC names lol. You place your order, pay then step back and wait for it. My sandwich was done fairly fast, being there was a small crowd. If ever your in the area, and want a great sandwich I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place .

This has to go down as one of the best places in E. Tremont to make thinly sliced, fried…read moreeggplant... and these folks aren't even Italian. This is S&W in E.Tremont. Guys here also carry a variety of veggies and have several aisles of fully stocked shelves. One side of their large glass counter has the deli meat+ cheeses, followed by pre-packaged mixed greens, Salad toppings and prepared meals- which they can heat up. On days I don't bring lunch to work, I get an eggplant sandwich with lettuce/tomatoes or go for the eggplant on mixed greens with other veggies- that are both winners for me. The Spanish-speaking guys working on the kitchen side are always helpful and know my picky ways and the owners are friendly. Budget-friendly is not. But know this- S&W comes handy on this end in E. Tremont.

Been coming to S&W for deli sandwiches for years now. Of the delis in the area this has always been…read moremy goto for them. Unfortunately like anything else there isn't a consistency that I can honestly say every sandwich I've gotten has been fantastic. They definitely have not been because it depends solely on the person making them. BUT over the years I feel they've earned the 4 star review. Aside from the sandwiches, this is a clutch spot to come to when you need some quick things instead of having to go to one of the big grocery stories. They have a good selection of groceries, meat, and produce. Some of the prices are a bit higher but nothing crazy in my opinion. Over the years most of the staff have been friendly and helpful, the sandwiches have (mostly) been very good, & they always have things I need in stock. The online ordering is super easy and efficient, and they offer deliver too. Recommend stopping in next time you need some groceries are want a good deli sandwich (hopefully) ;)
