4 Best Sandwich Shops near Queens

“Cheesecake is one of New York City's most iconic desserts, and no visit to NYC feels complete without a stop at Junior's. Known around the world for its legendary cheesecakes, this classic bakery has been serving up rich, creamy slices for decades and has become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists.

We decided to keep it simple and try two classics: the Original Cheesecake and the Key Lime Pie. The Original Cheesecake was exactly what you hope for from a New York-style cheesecake—smooth, dense, and incredibly creamy without being overly sweet. The signature sponge cake crust added a unique touch that set it apart from other cheesecakes we've had.

The Key Lime Pie was equally impressive. It had the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, with a silky filling and a light whipped cream topping that complemented the citrusy lime flavor beautifully. It was refreshing, rich, and the perfect dessert after a day of exploring the city.

Whether you're a cheesecake lover or simply looking to experience a true New York food institution, Junior's lives up to its reputation. The desserts are delicious, the portions are generous, and it's easy to see why this spot is considered one of the city's most famous sweet destinations.“

“Honestly, this place is so slept on... Krave It has the best pizza in Bayside— by a LANDSLIDE. I love that they use unbromated flour and I appreciate that every piece (even the specialty slices with many heavy toppings) has great structure, no flop. Thin & crispy crust, great ratio of sauce and cheese. I also love how clean the restaurant is. They have some incredible specialty slices that I never knew I needed in my life until I tried them! 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. Give them a try, you will be back for more!“

“Great quick service. Clean.“
