50 Best Sandwich Shops in New York

“Sandwich was so overstuffed it was almost impossible to eat without making a mess. fresh bread, tons of meat, and somehow everything still tasted balanced. little shop gets crowded around lunch and there’s usually people waiting near the counter. not really a place you hang out for long, more like grab your food and figure it out as you go.“

“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.“

“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’ve been in New York for the last three days and I’ve tried to eat at every great deli. Sharma’s is the best I’ve eaten while I’ve been here. It’s a little hole in the wall that makes a great sandwich.

This is what I remember New York deli being like years ago.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“10/10 How can a place be this gorgeous and still serve the simplest food that’s somehow this good?

The best chicken salad sando I’ve ever had was here. No question. And don’t even get me started on the pancakes… They barely had any blueberries in them, but somehow they were SO. GOOD. Like… how is that even possible?! Someone explain. 🫐🥞🤍“

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

“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“

“I went to a this deli on my bday trip, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it completely ruined every other deli sandwich for me.

Small place but seriously mighty. No fluff, no gimmicks, just unreal, farm-to-table food done right.

The meatball sandwich? I think about it daily. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and messy in the best way. The kind of sandwich you don’t forget. And the Burrata sandwich was just as incredible, packed with flavor and made with so much care you can taste it in every bite.

You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully sourced. It makes a difference.

This place puts every other deli shop to shame. If you know, you know.

Already planning my next trip back, mainly for that sandwich.“

“The owner (I think) was incredibly kind and welcoming. We had two sandwiches and two crêpes. I’m not a crêpe fan, but it was still a satisfying sweet treat and my mom and sister loved it. THE SANDWICHES!! Ugh. Bread to die for and deliciosos flavor combos. Great service, great food and a great time with my mom and little sister. Definitely will be coming again.“

“I order online regularly & I have never been disappointed in the quality of the food, speed & efficient delivery from Sandwell. Will continue to order online & I have referred Sandwell to others with a wide variety of preferences. My new favorite go to delivery place!“

“we loved it!“

“Absolutely the best, most unique sandwich restaurant EVER. Passionate and dedicated team, serving healthy, innovative and just out of this world sandwiches and rich, freshly made coffees and espresso. Desserts available at on site (Francesco’s) bakery. Highest recommendation. A must try.“

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

“The vegetarian pizza here is absolutely incredible; fresh, bursting with flavor, and the best I had in NYC. I honestly wish I had found this place sooner, as discovering it on the last day of my four-day stay was a missed opportunity. Appreciate and thanks to the gentleman for pizza, I would highly recommend visiting this place.“

“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!“

“We catered a picnic for 25 people from them. The team went above and beyond, very communicative, thoughtfully asked how and what guests enjoy, worked with us to craft the perfect set of sandwiches… then came the actual day. They put together a very easy to transport box setup. I was just as enamored with that as I was with the food itself. Nothing shifted, spilled and arrived exactly as was packed.

The sandwiches were a huge hit with creative combinations that hit your taste buds in all the right ways. We had all ages enjoy them, from
5 yr olds to 70 yr olds. Huge thank you to the team for making my wife’s 40th picnic birthday a success!“

“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!“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“Ordered delivery a few times. This place is a savior when you need dinner working an overnight shift. The cheese burgers are amazing and the coffee is amazing as well. The delivery guy are amazing. This place is amazing and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommend.“

“They have the most beautiful chip display of any Subway I’ve ever been to - it’s just so perfect & organized & it made my OCD brain happy when I walked in. My boyfriend always gets the nachos and they’re (surprisingly) really good.“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

“Awesome food and even greater customer service!! 🫶🏽👏🏽🙌🏽❤️🎯🎯“

“Amazing place! Quality food, everything fresh, very friendly environment, multilingual staff and enough space for lunch/dinning. Prices very low and food portions are huge! Returning daily during my stay in NYC!“

“Was a pleasure visiting this Deli the moment I walked in i saw a very clean place and the fruit the deli meat section was spot less With fresh looking fruit .they were very nice people had a great egg sandwich made perfect with a outstanding smoothie I will definitely recommend stopping here for sandwiches and smoothies and juice great place and clean. And great employees“

“FARIA IS THE BEST!!! I come here almost everyday for work on my break. I get the good looking sandwiches. If you are a subway fan then you know Cookies matter just as much as the sandwich. They are always soft enough to bite through made fresh! Don’t even have to warm them up. Keeps a smile on her face and is a face I remember because of how kind she is. The rest of the staff makes sure to answer any questions you may have, as well as, any food allergies you may have.“

“Delicious Broadway sandwich!! Ingredients were fresh, establishment was clean, service was quick, and the sandwich was prefect. Creamy pistachio pesto lived up to the expectations, the tart of the sundried tomato also complemented the zucchini and greens, cheese was creamy and refreshing.“

“The lady is very nice always hardworking and I’m very thankful for her manager lady she is always very hardworking and always has an amazing smile love it here always like a family coming in here the food taste fresh and I feel good spending my money here so cleanly and nice environment for evb and food is really goodddd im thankful for this subway 👌🏾“

“Originally going to Katz’s but the line was insanely long. Found this place by chance and I’m so glad we did. This was the best sandwich I’ve ever had (The Fran). I’m not sad for missing Katz’s. The guy working there was very nice. Only negative was the music he had playing which had a lot of cussing (we had kids with us). Other than that this place was great! Mostly carry out, there is 1 big table for seating.“

“OMG THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECE!!!! The food is always so fresh. My first time going to this Wonder location in Midtown. Ahhh so delicious. I’ve been to a few Of these locations & the food is never miss & I am always very satisfied!! 😊😊😊 Who ever invited this chain is a GENIUS 🥳🥳 for reference I ordered from Royal greens & got the Buffalo Salad added Shrimp for only like $5 🙌🏽“

“First time trying these Italian sandwiches and it was so good. I tried the Venice sandwich and the peach ice tea and both were really good and I don't even like peach a lot. Staff was very friendly and made my sandwich pretty quick. I definitely recommend and will be back for more.“

“If you were looking for a cup of coffee and a sandwich at 4:30 a.m. this is your spot! I've been in here several times, and the place is spotless. They only have one small table to sit at, so you shouldn't plan on eating there. There's a big menu and the coffee is always fresh. I always see the same guy working there, and you can tell he knows what he's doing. If you are in the area and need something quick and easy and reasonably priced this is the place to go.“

“Was so excited to eat the sandwich that I forgot to take a picture! Definitely going to be stopping here again soon on my way to GCT“

“I had a great experience at d Elici. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with a nice balance of options to choose from. The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. Service was friendly and efficient, making everything smooth and enjoyable. It’s a solid spot for a quick, satisfying bite.“

“Best little gem in the West Village. They have fresh soups, panini sandwiches, and the best coffee/espresso. Service is also wonderful. I highly recommend.“

“Okay, the sandwich is pricey. And since the fame of the chimichurri sandwich. It even higher. It is tasty but not bigger enough for the $20. And they should really make sure to trim the fat of the steak. I had large pieces of fat in my sandwich. The chimichurri sauce is yummy. The pieces of steak I did taste were delicious but again not all that fat in my mouth.“

“AMAZING ITALIAN SUBS. At Alidoro they have fresh bread, fresh meat, everything is made fresh and in front of you. The Pinocchio sandwich is GREAT and I would highly recommend. This was an amazing experience and customer service was great. Cute seating area as well. Will definitely be coming back every time I am in SoHo NY.“

“Heard about this place online and wanted to try it. Price wise, its around the same price as the other food in the area. The paninis were okay. Honestly, if I gave you a panini from a local popular corner deli and this place, this place would be slightly better. Give this place a shot and you can decide for yourself. I had the Cubano and it was okay.“

“Ordered the open pastrami sandwich which came with gravy, chips and coleslaw. All of it was delicious! Pastrami wasn't especially hot, but it was super flavorsome and the light gravy really helped moisten the sandwich without overpowering the pastrami.

The coleslaw and chips were also great. My partner got the potato salad instead of coleslaw and it was also delicious.“

“Great customer service! Tell Missy we said Hi.“

“Their Parisienne sandwich is the best way be had outside of Paris, and everyone is so nice! The bread is perfection. I love this place so much.“

“I’m salivating just thinking about their 🥪!!! They offer huge portions, fresh and high quality ingredients and now I’m hungry. 😋“

“Absolutely love this place! We really needed something like this where you can order from different restaurants all in one spot. My food was perfectly packed, incredibly delicious, and super fast. I’m so glad one opened nearby. I used to go to the one near my job on 23rd Street, so this is super convenient!“

“My first visit. I had a Naked Frozen Mojito and a Green Thai Coconut Curry with Chicken, so yummy! Great customer service!“

“Got the Gothamist on semolina bread 🍞, a pickle, and a bag of chips with rosemary and olive oil flavor. Oh, a canned Illy latte too. It was $38.34 with tax. The pickle was a small sliver and cost 75 cents. It did have some surprising heat to it. The sandwhich had a mild flavor and was fresh.The bread had a good texture. The pesto, 🍋lemon, and sundried tomatoe flavors were milder than expected. The rosemary of the chips was not very noticable. I am glad I got it in advance for supper for my 7 hour train ride 🚊. Better than the dining car options or nothing. Pretty expensive but it is NYC 🗽in a train station. You’re paying for convenience and location. My canned latte was needed on the ride too and I liked the flavor. The line was short and moved fast around noon on a Monday. Staff were friendly and helpful in giving directions of service. You get a pager after you pay- when it buzzes, you pick up your food in the next window. I recommend grabbing a cold sandwhich to go for long rides.“

“I ordered one plain Bagel with Bacon, Egg and Cheese and one Coffee …. It’s one of the best Bagel I’ve ever had in Manhattan!
The Bagel is made with Sourdough and always fresh, the Bacon was crispy, the egg soft a the cheese melted away.
It tasted so good and the size was enough for the first part of the Day…
I can definitely Recommend Harry’s Bagels!!!“
