    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.

    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.

    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.

    Are they Kosher?

    I'm not completely sure if they offer kosher options. I'd like to say they do but best to check first.

I'm so glad Broad Nosh Bagels & Deli popped up in my search, as it was exactly what I was looking to enjoy. A couple of us trekked the few blocks to find the storefront. Inside it was PACKED, and several groups and lines snaked around the dividers. But the line moved quickly between customers picking up to-go meals and placing orders at the counters. The display cases are beautiful and feature so many different kinds of cream cheese. (Who knew you could make a whole vat of Biscoff?) They also had many types of smoked fish and toppings for customers filing through. Once you order food, you take your ticket to the register where you can add any drinks. This also went fairly quickly. Food and drink order numbers were called out and checked with the receipts, although they called out a set of orders for several minutes and no one came to pick them up. There are a few tables there, but since customers wait to grab drinks and food near the front, the couple tables at the front were basically for crowd control. I definitely wouldn't try to eat there unless I happened to be going at a quieter time. I got the bagel with smoked salmon, and it was exactly what I had been craving. Their bagels are a quarter pound each, so you might even get two meals out of it if you have a fridge for storage. But even as good as the bagel was, the hot chai latte with oat milk was the star for me. It was so incredibly layered for flavor and fragrant, just lightly sweet. I would go out of my way on a trip to NYC just to get one of these for breakfast! We all really enjoyed our food, and I will definitely return.

First mistake was mine. I should've trusted my first instinct and went with a different bagel. I chose everything, and that seasoning overpowered the entire sandwich. All I could taste was EVERYTHING. But what I can't take responsibility for is the bacon. Where was it?! A BLT with barely any B is nasty work. Especially after I just walked half of Central Park. I needed substance! Maybe I'd give Broad Nosh another shot and order differently, but this particular sandwich? I was NOT pleased. Palate don't lie. ‍

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.
