I'd imagine this is exactly how some people would like their donuts as well. ANYWAY THE REAL HIGHLIGHT IS the staff!! they are AMAZING!!! They're so kind, cheery, and efficient despite the Sunday morning rush. GIVE THEM A RAISE!!!

I recently realized that there are so many Daily Provisions located around the city. Who would've…read morethought?! I honestly didn't know until recently. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's definitely a convenient spot no matter the time of day. The menu has a little bit of everything such as pastries, coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, soups and even gluten free options. They also serve beer and wine, which I wasn't expecting. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. The setup is mostly DIY since you throw away your own garbage and etc. But they do bring your food and drinks out to you. They also have a restroom for customers and a self serve tap water station with glasses, which I appreciated. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was alright, but I do think it could've used a little more flavor or seasoning.

Solid spot but nothing extraordinary. Would certainly recommend the banh mi over the vermicelli…read morebowl for more bang for your buck. The pork vermicelli bowl is delicious but they are stingy with the meat - for $18 I would pass. Quality is great - good option if craving Vietnamese

Not the place to go for a bahn mi. Me and my partner went and the bahn mi itself had no flavor and…read morewas super dry. We ended up asking for asking for siracha on the side and used a ton of soy sauce for the flavor. Near the end, I didn't want to even finish eating it because of how bad it was but I wasn't going to let $16 for a bahn mi go to waste My partner also thought the server had an attitude. And the table and stool wasn't stable and thought everything was going to fall under us.

Even though I was told my pick up order would be ready in 20 minutes, it was ready much earlier (thank you!!) I ordered: - Jiu Jitsu Steak sandwich: 10/10 - the meat was very tasty and tender. I wish I could buy a jar of their Chimichurri sauce. - Spanish Pig in Italy sandwich: 100/10 lol - it looks overwhelming, but everything just comes together really well. And, the sautéed broccoli rabe cuts the richness. This was the star of the meal. - Sweet Potato Tater Tots: 10/10 - I'm not into sweet potato fries, so I was really, really surprised that I actually loved these tater tots. The sandwiches are huge - big enough to get two meals out of each. The bread that they use is phenomenal, and holds up all the ingredients really well.

Small space inside but you don't need much space to make bussin sandwiches. Walking or public transportation is preferred. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here after a long day doing booth duty at a summit and was starving from not eating the entire day. Fortunatley the place was pretty quiet since it was 2pm and I got my orders in. For sandwiches, I ended up getting the Favolosa and the Italiana. The favolosa had a delicious artichoke cream and salami that was a banger. The italiana had all your great italian cured meats as well as a truffle cream sauce that made the umami bomb even more umami. So good! THE FINAL BAMBOO: The two sandwiches were around $45, a little pricier on the sandwich side but man are they delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in NYC.

Okay, so this is the sandwich shop that is famous in Italy, and I waited over 20 minutes in line in…read moreRome for it. It is still one of my favorite sandwiches to this day. The La Paradiso sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachios...God's creation!!So when I heard they were coming to NYC, I was SO excited. Okay... it was good, but it was not Italy good. My focaccia didn't taste as fresh, and my sandwich felt rushed;like it wasn't made with love. It still tasted good, but it was definitely not the same magical experience as that first bite I had in Rome. The lemon drink definitely get it. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I had the original in Italy, but I wanted to love it more!

I love Zabar's market! They have a lot of speciality items that I can't find at home. I purchased…read moresome goodies and some merch and just had a fun time looking around the store. They have a little bit of everything from prepared foods, a bakery, deli counter, caviar, coffee, tea, and so much more. I also stopped into the cafe to get a bagel with butter. It was late morning so the shop wasn't very busy. However, it took a long time to get my bagel and I couldn't figure out why. Some of the staff were just waiting around and it seemed like one guy was making all of the orders. Anyways, my bagel was great.

Overpriced. Customer service is nonexistent…read more Two guys working, a mostly empty shop. One prepared a bagel with cream cheese the whole time. The other stood with his back to me and talked to his coworker. I waited 8 minutes and left. Went to Bagel Nosh a few blocks north. Shop was packed. One guy taking orders for everyone in line. Three guy assembly line preparing orders. Two women ringing up. I was out in 3 minutes. (Yes, I timed it. I'm petty.) If making a bagel was a sport, Zabar's Cafe would be a little league team in last place.

The absolute Worst Stewing Beef I have ever had, grass fed or otherwise!!!…read more History: I used to order my stew beef at a nearby farmers' market. Really good. BUT they closed the booth so I switched to H&C. It was more expensive and almost as good. Then I stopped eating beef. Recently I started making beef stew again. I got some grass fed at Whole Foods. It was okay but I wanted better. So I went back to H&C. It cost $14 a pound but that's food now. I noticed when I unwrapped the package that there was much darker meet in the middle of the bright red meat. Older? Hmmmm. So I made the stew. And the beef was like leather. I lost more calories chewing than I did consuming. Some of it was so inedible I tossed it. That was about 20%. As I said, the worst. I would have gone back to complain but the place is popular so I was seemingly in the minority and you know what goes with that dynamic. Naw I'm going back to WF or raising my own in my NYC apartment.
