    Iced tea menu
    Riki J.

    I enjoy their matcha- in plan americano form or in their lemonade form. Feels like good quality matcha. I'm not a coffee drinker so can't speak on that. My friend enjoys their drip coffee so I assume it's good.

    Vanilla latte

    We love ground central! We had been going every Friday for over a year for their vanilla latte Friday's. It was one of our favorite traditions before they sadly got rid of the special :( we still stop in every once in a while but miss our weekly deals. One thing to note is that there's an extra charge of 50 cents (I believe) to get a drink iced. Their other coffees are really good as well as their pastries. Huge fan of the chocolate chip cookies.

    Soy latte is piping hot and delicious. Great deal with the $100 gift card for $75. Lots of pastries to choose from.

    Chai tea latte (with almond milk)

    The baristas here are amazing! I have been coming to this coffee shop for over a year, and they are so friendly! Even if I don't come for a while, they always remember my order, and the orders of my coworkers when I come by to pick up coffee. They have a 15% discount for NYU employees, and a 10% discount for friends and family. If you become a regular like me, get their gift card! They give you bonus amounts when you buy a $40 gift card (you get $50 added to the gift card). It also doubles up as a points card so after you have accumulated points, you can use your points instead of money to redeem coffee/pastry! There's both outdoor seating and indoor seating, so you can't go wrong coming here! You won't regret getting chai tea latte from here. It's my favorite!

    The nitro cold brew here is very good and creamy. However, the iced mocha is just average. Service was extremely fast.

    Seriously: close down the one on 2nd and 38/39. The rest are fine, even usually good.

This is in a ritzy part of town on 60th St between Madison Ave & Park Ave with Ferraris & Bentleys parked on the street, so you have to guess that the storefront rent must be astronomical. But oh, these gastronomical sandwiches are off the charts and can justify the price. Once you decipher the names of the sandwiches on the menu and see what's between the bread, you will want to try all of them. I settled on 2 finalists, but decided get both anyway. All sandwiches are made fresh with some of the best looking meats & ingredients I've ever seen! And what's better is that they bake all the focaccia for the sandwiches fresh and in-house. You see the bread oven right behind the register. I wonder if I could buy a slab of that bread? The L'Inferno brought images of Danté Alighieri's version of the Underworld to mind, but was a spicy hot masterpiece of sandwich art. The combination of thinly sliced roasted porchetta, nduja, spicy grilled eggplant & arugula was fantastic! The fresh baked focaccia took it even further. But I did learn something new today besides Italian pronunciation, which was that nduja (silent n) is a spicy sausage from Calabrese that's spreadable like butter. I gotta get me some of that stuff! The La Paradiso sounds like the third installment of Danté's Divine Comedy trilogy, but is a very mild, but tasty sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella & crushed pistachios in pistachio cream. The pistachio cream is a stroke of culinary genius and gives the sandwich an amazingly smooth texture & taste. The only part of the Divine Comedy missing from their menu is La Purgatorio and I do not want to find out what would go into that sandwich!

The menu inside breaks down all of the sandwhiches, you roll up to the deli counter when they say next, spill out your order (add/remove stuff to your order) and you're done. The most overwhelming thing is deciphering the Italian sandwhich menu. I hit up the Italian Hot. Pretty decent! I added sun dried tomatoes...but it would have been just as good without it. Be PREPARED this Sammie has some chili honey liquid /oil sauce they put on it and it's tasty but it's a lot. The staff are friendly - just focused on getting your order and getting it to you so you can enjoy. The wall is pretty interested they have made their own decor out of door panel fixtures.

But it turned out to be a fantastic meal and fully satisfied my endless craving for well-made soup dumplings. The scallion pancakes were excellent, too, crispy without being greasy and packed with scallions. I had seen a lot of reviews praising the General Tso's chicken, but I've honestly avoided the Chinese-American dish for years. Too often it's overly sweet with a heavy batter. Still, after seeing plate after plate come out to nearby tables, I decided to give it a try. What a surprise. It was a huge portion of fresh white meat chicken with a light coating and a perfectly balanced sauce, served piping hot. We couldn't finish it (knowing we had a big dinner later), but I kept going back for "just one more piece" more times than I'd like to admit. Reservations aren't accepted for parties of two, but in the late afternoon it wasn't busy at all, we walked right in with no wait. Would absolutely come back.

I have three big guys with me and sometimes quick lunches need to be more filling than fast food options, so we chose Alidoro's under Rockefeller Plaza. We could walk to it form the hotel and it was in the middle off all we wanted to show the boys on their first day (first time) in the city. We all chose different sandwiches and they were ready pretty fast. Since the shop itself is not huge, we landed a small space at the window bar with two stools and some standing room. After being in a car and on a flight and in another car all morning, we weren't mad about the standing part. We were all able to share and sample each sandwich, and honestly, we were not disappointed. We were all full and happy when we weren't finished, so what more could we want for a relatively quick NYC meal? Being under the plaza, the restrooms were outside the shop but very close by so we were able to wash hands and such before journeying out into the wild. I would definitely stop back by again on another trip! The guys and I all gave Alidoro's two thumbs up - so 8 thumbs total, if you're counting.
