York Deli

Great prices, perfect spot to get breakfast delivered on a Saturday morning. Decent beer selection as well.

Great deli with hot entrees that you don’t have to take from a shared buffet. (Those are disgusting.) I can get restaurant-​quality roast chicken and mashed potatoes, and it doesn’t cost restaurant prices. I can even get a large or small! Grab a couple beers, and I’m set for the night in less than 5 minutes.
And Victor’s review? Unilocal really needs a negative feedback option. Cheese is a premium item everywhere. Accusing them of stealing by «sneaking» charges onto the bill is a disgusting accusation, and he gives a neighborhood business an undeserved 1-​star review.

Food is below average. Slow service.
Bought a roast beef for «$ 5.50». Then guy at the counter says it’s $ 8.50.supposedly because I added cheese and lettuce. Really! Shouldn’t that already be included in the price.
I know it’s the upper Eastside and rents are high and I’m will be willing to pay the extra but don’t sneak it in to my bill. Absolutely absurd.

I love this place. I live just around the corner and go here all the time. They have really good sandwiches with the standard Boar’s Head. The breakfast sandwiches are also really good.
The guys who work here are awesome as well. They really try and get to know their customers. My only problem with it, is they charge extra for lettuce, tomato and mayo on the sandwiches. Come on guys!!!

Ordered: Toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with butter & an iced tea
Received: chewy cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese & THEY DO NOT SERVE ICED TEA?
So while I like stopping in here to get sodas and snacks when convenient, I wouldn’t recommend stopping here in the morning for breakfast on the go…

Terrific corner deli. The grilled chicken breast is terrific. The sausage and pepper lunch special is solid.

My neighborhood go-​to.
They have just about everything I need. Great egg sandwiches. They carry Boars Head cold cuts — (need I say more) and make a kick-​ass turkey sandwich.
They are open until 4 or 4:30am…Staff is always friendly. There aren’t many neighborhood establishments that have survived this long.
I feel way better purchasing small goods here than Duane Reade across the street.
Support the little guy!

$ 1.25 for delicious deli style coffee — YEAH!
Definitely not burned like Starbucks. Go for it!

Fast Delivery, good food and friendly personal service.
Cons: expensive. Would not include my free small coffee with my breakfast sandwich because «I didn’t get meat on the sandwich» (I got an extra egg instead).
4.00 for an egg sandwich on a roll even by NYC standards, it should definitely have came with a free coffee, especial because I am a repeat customer.
I ended up agreeing to pay for the coffee, and he charged me a dollar for it.
Aside from this incident, this place is definitely a 4 star deli, and worth using for anyone in the area.

I totally like York Deli better than the other «it’s-so-similar-I-sometimes-forget-which-one-I’m-at» bodega that is two storefronts down.
And I’ll be honest — it is because of two things, and two things only:
1. York plays better music.
2. The guys behind the counter don’t creep me out quite as much.
Otherwise, this is your standard deli. Boar’s Head meat sandwiches, $ 4 breakfast «specials», nasty slop buffet-​type food, overpriced convenience-​size staples (chips, candy, soda, bread, condiments, etc). They’ve also got your morning papers, your daily fruit and your muffins. And for the less-​virtuous: cigarettes, beer and scratch tickets.
Get er’ done.

This place has everything you need. 2 liter of soda at 2 AM, check. Turkey and cheese on wheat at 4 AM, check. A 40 of OE to start the morning, check. That’s the true definition of a convenience store.

I love York Deli! Whether it is 4pm or 4am it, it is always the same guy with the ponytail behind the counter. The breakfast special platter is awesome. 100% guaranteed hangover cure.

FIRST!
Right, but only because I’m reviewing my corner bodega, which I know is super-​lame, but I totally dig this place. I come here for three reasons:
1) Vitamin Water/​Snapple White Teas
2) My-​Friend-​Will-​Arrive-​in-​Ten-​Minutes Beer
3) Entemann’s Glazed Pop-​Ems, my #1 source of saturated fat
These things are always fresh and always in stock. The guy behind the counter remembers me now and kinda smiles at the fact that I’m always buying the same thing.
I also suspect he might think I’m a total man-​whore, but that’s neither here nor there.
But the REAL reason I’m writing this review is to confess that they had this cat that I hated, and one time when nobody was watching I scared it and threw a bag of chips at it and then it ran away from me when I was leaving. It went out the door and around the corner, and I haven’t seen it since. So it’s probably dead because of me.
UPDATE: The cat has returned! I saw it walking around outside yesterday. It even sorta walked up to me, so either it’s forgiven me or it’s gaining my trust as it plans its revenge.
