    quick affordable no frills meal
    Van D.

    A quick no frills meal by Oculus. My boyfriend and I stopped by Stage Door Delicatessen for lunch to fuel us on our adventures. No expectations since we saw the low reviews but it was more like the convenience of the location. When you enter, you order what you want at the food station that offers what you want. They had a big variety on their menu but they menu was disorganized and almost overwhelming. And then you ring up at the cashier, and you seat yourself. Pay attention to the staff cause they'll call out what you order when it's ready for pick up. There was a good amount of tables here, even though they were tightly packed. We picked a table that wasn't close to other patrons to avoid bumping into each other. My boyfriend had a Turkey Club ($14) that came with a bag of chips. He said the sandwich was really dry. I had their 2 Eggs, Bacon, Home Fries, and Toast ($9.75 + some eggflation additional charge during the time of our travel). We also shared a small Sour Du Jour ($5.25) which was an Orzo Chicken soup. The portions are really big but the food wasn't anything to be excited about. Everything was on the greasy side. I feel like it made me almost too full what I intended. And since we aren't locals it's not like we could have taken the food to-go. If you're in the area and need a quick bite, it's an option but not saying a great option.

    Really fast service and friendly friendly staff they will get your sandwich ready in three minutes and it's fresh and hot. Avocadoes are creamy but the breads are just ok not stale but not delicious. But the sandwich itself is yummy and salted. Coffee is nice they have an espresso machine but it's not freshly done espresso so it be sitting. It's fine, $8 and up sandwiches but worth it for the speed and hot meal. They have seating and pastries and cake.

    Bacon, egg and cheese on a roll and a Red Bull because I always need my wings!

    Came to this little spot as a recommendation by one of the survivors telling their stories outside. Talk about selection, you can get pretty much anything you want in this extensive menu. All the breakfast, staples, bagels, rolls, hot food, fruit, and fresh juices. I went with a standard bacon, egg and cheese on a roll, and it did not!

    Pastrami sandwich
    Josh R.

    This was my first time here. I ordered the pastrami sandwich. It wasn't life changing, but it hit the spot! I'd recommend this place if you're in the area and need a place to sit and grab a bite.

    Friendly service, great food, solid music, and overall great vibe for a spot that seems like a tourist trap. It's definitely not that. Go to the deli if you're in the area.

    We were looking for a place for a quick lunch, specifically a deli, and Stage Door was nearby. It may look small from the outside, but it actually has a deli on one side and a pizzeria on the other (just read the signs at the entrance)! The deli offers breakfast, grilled items, burgers, sandwiches, paninis, wraps, a hot food bar, salads, pastries, and beverages. We ordered: +the #3 - Corned Beef, Pastrami, Swiss, Cole Slaw & Russian Dressing - this sandwich was stuffed well, the rye bread was soft, and there was a good amount of Russian dressing, which I appreciated; this was actually pretty tasty and filling! +the soup of the day - Chicken Orzo - really good broth, lots of chicken, but the orzo was a bit overcooked and super mushy Service was very friendly, welcoming, and efficient. There are also a handful of tables inside to dine-in, but most seem to get their orders to-go. I was told the restrooms were extremely clean and well-maintained, which is a huge plus! Once you place an order, you pay, and you wait just a few and your order is ready. Then, you can make your way to the dining section and grab a table. I'd like to try their hot bar items the next time! +#3 sandwich +friendly service +some tables available +clean restrooms

    7. Italian Hero

    We stopped for a quick lunch before heading to 911 Memorial. We ordered the Italian hero and corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. It was a good amount of meat in both. The flavors were good and bread was soft. Service was also quick and everyone behind the counter was friendly. The tables are squeezed in tightly will just enough space to walk through. The restroom was downstairs and very clean.

    You wouldn't believe how many options this small deli offers. Breakfast staples (omelettes, pancakes, etc.), sandwiches (paninis, burgers, and more), pastas, meats, soups, pizzas, and more make an appearance here. While there are several tables inside for dine-in, Stage Door also offers easy to-go options like smoothies, bagels, muffins, and croissants. The staff is friendly and the restrooms are surprisingly clean for the traffic the restaurant must get. I'd definitely come back again.

    customers at the counter

    Visited a few times in the early morning during the week & boy is this place always buzzing. There's always a line of customers, yet it goes pretty quickly. They have an old school way of screaming out the orders & throw around the sandwiches from the grill to the counter which I think is hilarious! They're a friendly bunch & are great at substituting orders. So far the breakfast wraps are my favorite especially the lime cilantro wrap, tastes great!

    Bacon, egg and cheese croissant with hash brown
    Rudy M.

    Before my visit to the memorial (because it was so close to ground zero), my friend and I came here to have breakfast. I was very excited for this moment because I heard that breakfast at a deli was just as good as lunch. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant with a hash brown on the side. It was so damn good and I wish I had been smart enough to order another hash brown. The egg was yokey, but I honestly had no problems with that because it was delicious. They are very quick there and it was clear they wanted you to be on your feet when ordering and hearing your order up. There are a few of these places but this one was impressive downtown.

The vegetarian omelette was thick and fluffy, with a good amount of sliced portobello mushrooms and spinach. It came with a side of market salad (leafy greens, cherry tomatoes, carrot, radish, cucumber), making it a great low-carb & high-protein breakfast option. The fruits platter was also excellent - came with a good amount of various sliced fruits (cantaloupe, honeydew, orange, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries) that were all very fresh. The milk, however tasted thick and a bit bitter. Not sure if they gave me homogenized milk (3.25%) or the milk was starting to turn bad. Unfortunately I couldn't drink it.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
