    Uncle Jimmy Sandwich ($19)
    Ryan H.

    Try: Uncle Jimmy Sandwich! Why: Really good Italian sandwich shop and a great addition to UES. Uncle Jimmy Sandwich was layered with Prosciutto, Sopressata, Smoked Ham, Mozzarella, Arugula, and Roasted Reds. It also had Chili Spread, Olive Oil, and Balsamic, which had a nice kick and added flavor. I didn't love the Stirato Bread but everything in between was delicious. I also tried Lil Phil Sandwich with Smoked Ham, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce and Tomatoes. It was a good classic sandwich but I felt it needed some sauce or oil for added flavor. Notes: Small and neat sandwich shop with a few tables inside and outside. Loved seeing the meat display and the Italian ingredients on wall. Workers were friendly and quick. I came on a Saturday during lunch time with a couple people ahead of me in line. I hope more locals discover this shop and I look forward to trying their other sandwiches!

    Happened by this place off of 2nd Ave. Settled on the Cousin Anthony; Smoked Chicken, Fresh Mozz, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze, EVOO on Stirato Bread, and I had them add Regina's Calabrian Chili Spread. All the ingredients were fresh and top notch. The heat from the chili spread worked nicely with the crunch and chewiness of the stirato bread. The staff was professional and attentive. The room has a couple of two tops and a table outside. I'll be back.

    Definitely one of the best spots to eat now on the Upper East Side, another little location similar to the original just opened right off 2nd Ave. Same as all the others so far, but they may soon offer more with access to a bigger kitchen here. For now, get the Uncle John or the Roman, two of the best sandwiches on the menu.

    This place is steeep in $$$$ Overall I liked the sandwich but I wish the bread was better. Don't get me wrong it was good but with better bread it would have been amazing. The base of the sandwich was really really good. Bread was only thing holding back its potential. The ingredients inside the bread are absolutely amazing and is what is carrying the show! The atmosphere in the place is fun and welcoming! Need to try one in their hero bread.

    One of the best sandwiches I have bad on the Upper East Side. I have been to the actual place twice since it opened and I have had delivery from this place. The people who work here are very nice. One of the guys remembered me. I usually get the Lil phil sandwich which is smoked ham, provolone cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. It's chefs kiss... sooo good! They have other types of sandwiches as well but I have not tried them. I think this place used to be a barber shop. As you can see in pictures it is not a big space. They have interesting things on the wall too.

    Regina's Grocery is a fun new italian sandwich shop on 88th st. The staff is friendly. I've had an uncle chubby twice now and both were pretty good! I'll be back to try the uncle phil since the uncle chubby didn't 100% do it for me. It's a small establishment but there is limited seating and sandwiches come out within ~10 minutes.

    Like all things, my impressions are subjective but I detested the stifata bread that makes this place so highly regarded. It's chewy to a point where it feels like tearing leather -- which is so disappointing, because the stuff between the bread is amazing and the sandwich incredibly well built. I went back a second time to try it on a hero, but that wasn't so great, either. I'll stick with Milano's Market instead.

    I almost cried when I took the first bite of this sandwich. I did cry a little I'm not ashamed. I got two traffic tickets on my way here and the cashier noticed and turned my day completely around with his kindness. Thank you, and god bless.

    Awe man where do I start, this place is great. It such a small shop with the most welcoming staff. Walked in and off the bat already knew what I wanted because I saw this spot on social media. Came to try the Uncle Jimmy Sandwich and I was not disappointed. The whole overall sandwich was delicious. Tasted fresh, great amount, looks appetizing and is just overall a 10/10. It is a small shop but you will find seating wether it's inside or outdoor seating they have. Also it's a great place for just on the go super fast service. Love this place !

    Amazing sammie spot. This was so good I got it two days in a row. Ingredients are fresh and unique. Boys in front are super friendly and welcoming. This place is going to be an amazing spot just like downtown!

Most Asian…read morerestaurants in this neighborhood are fancy sit-downs, so it was exciting to see a quick, casual stop for Asian "finger food" (for a lack of better word) within my vicinity. Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!

The staff is super nice and eager to help. It feels like a special neighborhood gem and you can really feel the family owned vibe. 1. Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix. We were deciding on this one and the proscuitto tomato but we are glad we got this one! 2. Chicken caesar salad wrap- I think I could easily say this is the best caesar salad wrap i've had. The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!

    I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.
