194 Manhattan Superette

I stopped in here to get a sandwich and go into the park. What a Gem!
Boars Head products cut to order at a reasonable price! I have lived in New York my whole life and have given up getting a sandwich like this in Manhattan easily 5 or 6 years ago.
The place feels friendly and neighborly. I wish (and do not understand why there is not anymore) there were places like this all around. Way to do a great job!

A bit disappointed in the veggie options at the deli, but the store has surprisingly a lot of stuff packed in. It’s very handy!

After hearing alllllllll too often about this place from Shea D. (you have no idea how many «I’m eating a delicious sandwich that only cost $ 4!» texts I’ve gotten…) I finally was able to give it a try!
Wow. $ 3.50 got me a huge turkey sandwich will all the fixin’s I could ask for. Unlike down here in the damned West Village where A FREAKIN’ SLICE OF TOMATO COSTS AN EXTRA BUCK! WANT CHEESE ON YOUR SANDWICH? YEAH THAT’S A DOLLAR TOO. Oh, you want bread with your sandwich? Fine, but that’ll cost ya! GRRR!!!
Anyway, delicious sandwich yes. The only thing was that it took a good eternity to make. I mean, Margot G and I both fully exchanged our two separate trip to a friends wedding stories we were on in the time it took the guy to make a couple sandwiches. Lame on that part. But again, $ 3.50. I won’t complain… much.

Yay I love my deli. Obviously, grocery shopping in New York can be a pain but this deli is fab. It’s clean, clean, and clean. This goes a long way with me. They carry all the staples that you’ll need. They even take credit cards (min. $ 5.50). Sandwiches are amazing as well!

It’s so shiny! We’re placing bets to see how long the squeaky clean new feel is going to last. I’ll go long and bet a year :) There’s a bodega around the corner that looks like it’s slowly collapsing like a flan in a cupboard under the weight of grime, random poster adverts, and cat food.
In the meantime I will definitely enjoy their deli sandwiches which ring in at either 3.50 or 4.50 depending on the type of bread you get. They have a butcher counter where you can buy fresh meat… an interesting twist on the traditional bodega. Have no fear though, they still have all the staples… taco supplies, cereal, soda, and beer!

I’ve watched in anticipation as this little deli right next door to my apartment building came to fruition.
First, the sound of hammers and automatic saws. It was music to my ears. Then, the plastic-​wrapped deli cases and ice cream freezers that sat out on the sidewalk for a couple of days. They were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen (except for my girlfriend of course!). And finally, the doors opened and the birds (or pigeons) sang their songs.
On Monday this week I ordered a hero with the usual of turkey, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and mayo on it. Cost? $ 4.50. Taste? Mmmm mmm good. Today I ordered another usual on wheat bread. Cost? $ 3.50. Taste? Oh yeah…
I’m hooked. However, during my post-​workout «now I have to go to work» mood this afternoon, I was also on the hunt for a sugar free Rockstar to maintain my energy at work tonight. They didn’t have it. They didn’t have any sugar free energy drink (I don’t like the crash of the «regular» ones) except for the Red Bull can, which was $ 2 for an 8 ounce, $ 3 for a 12 ounce, and $ 4 for the big one. Ouch. My guess is that as business expands, they will diversify their options. For now? This is my go to spot for deli sandwiches after my workout at the gym.
