Chicken blt
Andy V.

One of my favorite things about New York is the amount of quality deli's in any given area. Being able to pop in, get a good sandwich and some soup is what it's all about- I live a simple life. Anyway, on a recent trip to New York City, I was lucky enough to be staying near the Garden Café. It's open 24hrs so I could get my bagel fix any time I wanted. Why are these bagels so freaking good? The shop was small, but wasn't cramped. Had a few tables and chairs for you to sit. A big no loitering sign which tells you to make sure you're done eating within 20 minutes or they'll call the cops- I heart NYC. My first visit I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with bacon. The chicken salad was amazing. The bacon was delicious. The bread was stale. Again, it was probably 2am when I ordered this so who knows how long it had been in that cooler. I let it slide purely out of hunger and ate the good pieces. Plus, the taste of the chicken made up for it. My second trip was for breakfast- a sesame bagel with sausage, egg, cheese. Now this is what I'm talking about! Everything about this breakfast sandwich was perfect. If this sandwich and I went to high school I'd write, "don't ever change" in its yearbook because I loved everything about it. Gooey cheese, a perfectly toasted bagel, and the tasty piece of sausage. I could have this every day. The guys at the counter were always nice. The service was quick and the prices were reasonable, or could even be described as cheap. My breakfast sandwich ran about $4 which is really pretty standard if you ask me and you get a really good meal. Definitely made me a fan of this place and would go back any time I visit NYC again.

Hidden little gem here that I found looking for a roll of paper towels this morning! From the outside it seems like a regular liquor store but once inside ... Great little deli ,very clean and well stocked. Behind the counter is a flattop where they make breakfast to order and other lunch/dinner items ... Couldn't believe how fresh and appealing the items in the case were.. Definitely a lot of care and pride of business exists here. Had the pancakes... Very light and fluffy comparable to any higher end breakfast joint IMO , sausage which was average but very fresh tasting and grilled to order as well. Also had a breakfast croisssant with the same sausage and freshly scrambled eggs on a light and flaky croissant... Perfect! Glad I stumbled onto this great little spot!

One of the cleanest delis I have visited in New York City. I was impressed at how fresh all the food was, even late at night. The two guys working were very nice and accommodating. Floor and facility were very clean.

On a recent trip to NY, I stayed at the Eventi Hotel on 30th and 6th Ave. There were multiple bodegas in the area with a similar special; breakfast sandwich for $2.99 with a free coffee. I decided to check out Garden Deli because it had more customers than the other two when I walked by. When I cruised in, you could tell the people were regulars. Service was friendly and the dudes behind the counter were busting their asses to get the food prepared. New Yorkers are always in such a hurry. I opted for the two eggs with cheese and bacon on a bagel. It was freaking delicious. Properly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and slightly under-toasted bagel. What more can you ask for? They carry all Boar's Head brand meats, which seemed to be the norm in NY, but not always the case in CA. What else can I say, it's a bodega in NY. But with cheap prices and good service, I would definitely return.

So I payed 9$ for a gross af tuna sandwich and a bottle of water there are seats here but apart tyl I'm not allowed to sit in them although I bought food to eat them here so whatever I guess I wouldn't recommend this place and am now standing outside eating this horrible sandwich not because I want to rather it's because it was 9$ for a freaking Tuna sandwich dealing with the bums in the neighborhood thanks

Stopped by randomly for a dinner. We were craving a salad but the salad prices were quite high in…read morecomparison to the sandy so we went for that. The works was awesome, love the coleslaw and the sauce. The salad was simple but effective to be filling. The pastrami was yummy just a bit too fatty for me. After trying this sandwich I definitely want to come back for a club. The waffle was delish. Bacon tasted a bit old and wasn't as crunchy as it can be. Fruit cocktail was a nice refreshing touch to cut the heaviness. Our waitress was nice but I would've appreciated if she touched the table a tad bit more. We had to flag her down for a ginger ale refill. But otherwise she was a delight. Ambiance was alright! Just a reliable diner vibe. Nothing crazy, just right.

I wanted to leave a huge thank you to the host at the front for being so incredibly accommodating…read moreand kind. We had spent some time walking around looking for a place to eat, but everywhere else required reservations. Even though we didn't have one, he got us seated quickly and was so personal and welcoming. We were especially grateful because it was cold out and we were with my one-year-old daughter. We were also on a bit of a time crunch, and the entire staff did an amazing job getting us in and out fast without feeling rushed. As for the food--it was fantastic. We had the Southern Chicken Sandwich and the Nutella French Toast, which was some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this spot for the great service and even better food! Huge thank you to the staff!!!

Last day in New York back the end of March, found us looking for a place to get warm and grab some…read morefood while doing our last exploring dash through Times Square. We ducked here to grab some nourishment before I became to hangry. Ordering takes place at the counter then grab a table. I had a 1/2 bowl of their "famous chicken soup" and 1/2 pastrami sandwich. Had good flavor and was enough to warm me up on this brisk morning. My niece did a bagel, and after trying all week she finally got one exactly how she wanted it made. We ate and chilled for a bit, no plans for the day other than making it to the airport to go home. Was able to people watch and catch up without feeling rushed to leave. Saw locals come through, so you know it is a place worth stopping. The staff were nice and even apologized for not being able to give me the soup I wanted in a half order. Though things can often get overlooked and passed by in the hustle and bustle of the city...stop in and relax while you grab a bite to eat.

Date of visit: April 14, 2026…read more Our friend wanted to go to a real New York deli during her first trip to the city and this is the one in the vicinity of Times Square and our evening show that was the highest rated according to my fellow Yelpers, but I am not quite sure why based on our experience. Things did start out great, with Boudjema being very friendly and helpful as we placed our order. And once we got seated, we were able to fully appreciate the vibe, both in the primarily 70s playlist, but also the mirror and brass touches across the restaurant. Food-wise, however, there were some definite opportunities. My Roasted Turkey sandwich did come on quite possibly the best rye bread I have ever had, warm and flavorful. But while the gravy was also good, the turkey was cold. This odd temperature mismatch made it hard to appreciate the generous portion of meat on the sandwich. We also ordered some tater tots and those were quite good. While it definitely could have been worse--and I've had worse in New York City--this also could have been so much better.
