Sandwich Shops near Manhattan

“This restaurant has a clean and pleasant atmosphere. The staff is respectful and kind, and they prepared my food within five minutes. It wasn’t very busy, so I had a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in the area!“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is stunning!! Some italian classics and some twists, amazing wines and for their prices it's 100% worth it. Love this place and I can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in NYC.“

“Good food - good people. Every dish is fresh and tasty.“

“DeFontes is one of those Brooklyn institutions that instantly reminds you why some places never need a refresh.\n\nI went straight for the Signature Hot Roast Beef and, in a moment of well justified indulgence, added the Steak Pizzaiola. Zero regrets. These sandwiches are unapologetically stuffed. Meat, cheese, sauce, seasoning, all layered with confidence and generosity that feels almost defiant in today’s portion-controlled world.\n\nAnd the bread matters here. It’s fresh, warm, and crisp in all the right places, sturdy enough to carry the weight of the fillings without stealing the spotlight. It’s the perfect vehicle for the kind of sandwich that requires both hands and lots of napkins.\n\nOrdering at the counter may look intimidating at first, like there’s a secret rhythm you’re supposed to know and have rehearsed. Don’t stress it. The service is quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. The staff are happy to guide you through it, even if it’s your first time staring at the menu trying to decide how hungry you actually are.\n\nJust keep in mind that there’s no seating beyond a stand-up counter along the wall, so plan accordingly. This is very much a grab-and-go or eat-it-immediately experience.\n\nDeFontes isn’t chasing trends. It doesn’t have to. This is classic, expertly executed deli cooking that delivers exactly what you want and then some.“

“I lived then the street in 2005 and this is best sandwich in NYC. I’m in now LA and nothing compares. Awesome bread..“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“I went here today and had the most delightful lunch with my boyfriend. The co-owner was very welcoming and gave us many suggestions. We split a French onion soup and the duck panini. The co-owner gave us a delicious roasted pepper dip and a mustard sauce that went great with the sandwich. He also ended up giving us a Nutella crepe on the house! The food was great and the co-owner was lovely.“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“Ok, maybe I shouldn’t have picked marathon Sunday to finally hit up Frankel’s—it was packed! But what a great spot. I love their creative breakfast sandwich options, and the vibe was pure NYC energy. I got the pastrami, egg, and cheese on a challah bun, and it was exceptional. Perfectly balanced, rich, and just messy enough in the best way. 10 out of 10. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Been going to Faiccos for over 45 years now and nothing has changed thank goodness. The absolute best Italian cold cuts sandwiches,cheese and other specialities served by clean professional knowledgeable staff. The wrapping of the meats is a work of art in it self. Quality is amazing fresh and you can taste each item if you desire. The employees ability to cut tge meats so thin you can read the paper thru them still amazes me. Store is always very clean and workers are clean and well groomed important when they are touching your food. In 45 years never a problem never an issue
Always perfect just perfect.
Try tge home made sopresota or Italian from Italy mortadell or 8 different salami or a sandwich. Tge house made mottsorella is also amazing. Well worth the wait“

“Dopo una settimana in giro per NY, l'ultimo giorno, ahimé, ho scoperto il bar/gastronomia/shopping Best Sicily. Il miglior caffè!“

“Overall great place. Very simple, no frills, but the food is amazing. The Banh mis are thr best ive had and the pork, rice and salas is great as well.

My only wish is that they had some more vegeterian options since apart from the egg banh mi, there is nothing else. The other thing would be accepting card payments. But overall great food, service and prices.“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“I cherish every visit here. Workers at La sandwicherie chelsea welcomed our family with open arms. Great ambiance with a nice vibe, friendly staff, and a clean & simple decor. Their meals maintain quality while costs stay reasonable. This place delivers a pleasurable experience.“

“From service to food, everything shows attention to detail. As usual, I found the sweet offerings most satisfying. Workers here enhance your meal with their service. Accommodating, unpretentious, and sincere. I haven't discovered a place this excellent in years.“

“I came in here with a friend a few months ago since we needed a quick dinner. I had two of the best sandwiches of my life. We split the burrata and truffle sandwiches and both were incredible. I've been back a few times and have never been disappointed.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“Travels great for any tailgate!! 10/10“

“We had a takeaway of those pastrami sandwiches and tuna salad which were awesome, so we ordered more after we finished the first batch.

We waited like 15-20 minutes in lunch time.

Madison Square park is 2 minutes away with some public chairs and tables.“

“Fantastic gluten-free bagels! Literally the best I've had. Great spreads: horseradish cream cheese and scallion cream cheese also the best I've even had. Ordered delivery and bagels arrived nice & hot & toasty.
Now I'm back home in Los Angeles after this work trip with my boss, and both of us crave these fine GF bagels.“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“Sandwich was delicious. Loved the 70’s & 80’s movie posters on the wall. And the staff was helpful and had great vibes!“

“This place is small with a big taste,no lie one of the best sandwich spots I've eaten at and the prices are very reasonable.Good thing I don't live in the area I'd be tired of eating here so it's always a treat when I'm near.“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant. Every item on their menu is amazing. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming as well. I make the excuse to visit the restaurant once a week from Manhattan“

“Steep prices but the sandwiches are extraordinary and the owner is a kind soul. The turkey is roasted in house and the softest juiciest I've ever had in a sandwich. By far the best gluten free roll I've had a sandwich on and no reaction to any cross contamination. We came here from across the country on our honeymoon and have found a place we'll be sure to come back to.“

“Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious. The sauce is literally magical but the flavor of the pork is also so, so tasty. My husband and I went a few days ago with our 10 month old daughter, she slept in the stroller the whole time so there is great atmosphere as well. I already can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“A little gem. This small spot with a beautiful back patio squeezed in a group of 10 or so. The mushroom pizza was all we had but was 5/5 and worth a trip. Their dough is so light and pillowy but with crisp edges and a fantastic bite. The toppings on the mushroom pizza were perfectly seasoned and a very nice ratio (not overpowering the cheese or dough). Honestly though, the dough was special and is worth the trip to explore their other pizzas. Next time we come we will absolutely get a few pies and take home whatever is left. But if everything is as good as that mushroom pizza, there's small chance of leftovers.“

“Stumbled across the place during my walk this afternoon, popped in for a smash burger and fries and was delighted to find the food was excellent! The burger was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the fresh cut fries were crispy and delicious. What a pleasant surprise! Welcome to the neighborhood, Empire Shop!“

“Best thing that ever happened to this bedroom community.
Unfortunately the only one we have. But excellent menu with Jazz Friday’s and concerts on the lot in weekends.
Excellent varied art exhibitions in the gallery. And much much more.
A big thank you to the owners/organizers.

Hugs …“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the staff’s friendly and attentive demeanor, as well as the overall treatment I received. The food was delicious, although I must admit that I was likely just hungry. After all, I always relish my post-gym meals. I highly recommend this place!“

“I was truly impressed by the food - every bite felt like a perfect balance of flavor and texture. The presentation was stunning, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. You can tell the chef cooks with passion. I'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

“we loved it!“

“This was our first time trying this famous sandwich place. Thus, we were not sure what were the options. Unfortunately, they do not have a list of menu. However, they were very patient with us and told us what the special sandwiches of the day were. We got that day's special which was roastbeef. It was quite delicious. Next time, I would like to try a sandwich with bresaola (if they have).“

“So delicious! Great people, great service! 😋🤤“

“I have not had the chance to try the food yet but I just wanted to say R.I.P Lady Octopus they used to be located their their food is missed very much . But I'm glad Edith's took over the spot the food looks delicious looking forward to try the pastrami chopped cheese ☺️“

“I came today and tried Pietro sandwich and it was amazing! Tasteful and huge! It’s definitely one of the best sandwiches I ever had and I totally reccomend it! I live in Greece but I visit often NY and from now on I will visit Capone’s every time I will be in the city!“

“Delicious wraps! We go to the one on 102th st and Broadway.The only bad thing is poor service,workers have bad attitude! Makes your wrap taste bitter!“

“We stopped by Jersey Mike's again because the first time the Chipotle Chicken hero was great. We stopped by again, and the service and food were still the same. It's something about their hero and sauce that makes it taste great. Stop by and taste for yourself.

Parking: Stop by and enjoy.“

“The team makes even first-time visitors feel like regulars. Heaven on 7th Marketplace combines great cooking with excellent presentation. The staff maintained superior attention. All my selections demonstrate good flavor. The restaurant functions well and I'm glad I gave it a try.“

“The Picnic Basket NYC is always a fantastic experience. The kale salad is fresh, flavorful and perfectly balanced, and the chicken melt is my husband’s absolute favorite — warm, generous and delicious every time. Friendly service, great quality and consistently excellent food. Highly recommend.“

“I enjoyed the chicken pesto burrata, what a delicious sandwich! The person i was with got the lunchbox special, not a bite was left of either sandwich. I also recommend the ginger lemonade, it packs a little kick because of the ginger. I'll definitely come here again when I am back in NYC“

“Great lunches very accommodating for small lunch gatherings. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious home cooked food and Italian specialties“

“This week I had the best sandwich at this place! The flavors are fantastic, and each bite is packed with freshness. The ingredients are fresh , and you can really taste the quality. Whether you're into classic combinations or something more adventurous, there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for a delicious meal, you definitely need to try their sandwiches!“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

“This is our go-to pizza spot. Their traditional pizzas are just as excellent as their speciality pizzas that can be loaded with anything from waffles to general tso’s. Our latest was a ricotta stuffed crust which was A++. The staff is also super friendly if you call to order. Overall, highly recommend.“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“Excellent Subway. Ordered the sandwiches online using the FLBOGO discount. No fuzz whatsoever. Tasty sandwiches and prepared in my favorite way. Friendly staff. Just a smaller place with not many seats and no restroom. M1 bus stop right in front.“
