York Deli has become my go to on the Upper East Side. It's a neighborhood deli in every sense of the word. Angel, the owner, is friendly and cheerful. He greets regulars with banter, jokes, and occasional nicknames. There's usually Spanish music or pop playing, and it always feels like a spontaneous party is dangerously close to breaking out, especially on Saturday mornings. And the food is solid. I tend towards a BEC and always appreciate that it's made to order and with real eggs. Also--if you tip after receiving your breakfast order, Angel rings a bell and cheer. It's fun. So many of the newer delis popping up feel corporate and anesthetized, but York Deli is a throwback. It's welcoming and warm and really makes this UES corner feel like a community. read more

See all

Sandwich was good. Fresh meat and decent portion. Problem was, I don't appreciate being lied to. Menu says $11.99, any bread. I got a hero and the price was... $15. According to them, hero's are extra. Doesn't mention that anywhere. Guess hero rolls are not bread? I should have walked out, but I was hungry. read more

I was in the mood for a BEC and figured that a local deli like this one would be the perfect place to go! York deli definitely serves a classic bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a roll; nothing fancy but you know exactly what you're getting when you order it. The only thing that could have improved was the bread; it was pretty bland tasting and the bread can sometimes make or break a sandwich. Other than that, I would come back to try a different sandwich at lunch time to see how it compares read more

All four of us had the same response to our meals: "it was OK". I asked for rye bread for my pastrami sandwich but just got some bland toast. Coleslaw and grilled cheese was meh. Hamburger the same. Next time I'll pay a little more for something much better. read more

Hello, Worst food I ever ate! I had to throw it all away. Wasn't even good enough for my dog! A must to avoid place. They have some nerve passing that off as edible. Assholes! read more

I found myself walking thru the upper east side and decided to step inside the York deli. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and I ended getting a pastrami sandwich. The sandwich was great and a really good size. Prices are super reasonable. The menu here will satisfy anybody who is looking for a deli type breakfast or lunch. read more

York Deli - Cold pastrami on a roll - Convenience Stores Near Me - New York, New York

FIRST! Right, but only because I'm reviewing my corner bodega, which I know is super-lame, but I totally dig this place. I come here for three reasons: 1) Vitamin Water/Snapple White Teas 2) My-Friend-Will-Arrive-in-Ten-Minutes Beer 3) Entemann's Glazed Pop-Ems, my #1 source of saturated fat These things are always fresh and always in stock. The guy behind the counter remembers me now and kinda smiles at the fact that I'm always buying the same thing. I also suspect he might think I'm a total man-whore, but that's neither here nor there. But the REAL reason I'm writing this review is to confess that they had this cat that I hated, and one time when nobody was watching I scared it and threw a bag of chips at it and then it ran away from me when I was leaving. It went out the door and around the corner, and I haven't seen it since. So it's probably dead because of me. UPDATE: The cat has returned! I saw it walking around outside yesterday. It even sorta walked up to me, so either it's forgiven me or it's gaining my trust as it plans its revenge. read more

Came here in January '16 and the cashier was very nasty to me and the people I was with. He falsely accused one of us of having a fake ID when trying to purchase alcohol and was incredibly disrespectful. I'm never coming back here again. read more

My neighborhood go-to. They have just about everything I need. Great egg sandwiches. They carry Boars Head cold cuts - (need I say more) and make a kick-ass turkey sandwich. They are open until 4 or 4:30am...Staff is always friendly. There aren't many neighborhood establishments that have survived this long. I feel way better purchasing small goods here than Duane Reade across the street. Support the little guy! read more

$1.25 for delicious deli style coffee - YEAH! Definitely not burned like Starbucks. Go for it! read more

What do you want from what's pretty much a bodega? When I want a simple egg white / ham / cheese, I come here. My draft was three stars, but if that's the case, then why am I here all the time? Four stars. Nothing fancy, but I like it. Probably because it's one of the least pretentious places in the neighborhood. read more

I totally like York Deli better than the other "it's-so-similar-I-sometimes-forget-which-one-I'm-at" bodega that is two storefronts down. And I'll be honest - it is because of two things, and two things only: 1. York plays better music. 2. The guys behind the counter don't creep me out quite as much. Otherwise, this is your standard deli. Boar's Head meat sandwiches, $4 breakfast "specials", nasty slop buffet-type food, overpriced convenience-size staples (chips, candy, soda, bread, condiments, etc). They've also got your morning papers, your daily fruit and your muffins. And for the less-virtuous: cigarettes, beer and scratch tickets. Get er' done. read more

Fast Delivery, good food and friendly personal service. Cons: expensive. Would not include my free small coffee with my breakfast sandwich because "I didn't get meat on the sandwich" (I got an extra egg instead). 4.00 for an egg sandwich on a roll even by NYC standards, it should definitely have came with a free coffee, especial because I am a repeat customer. I ended up agreeing to pay for the coffee, and he charged me a dollar for it. Aside from this incident, this place is definitely a 4 star deli, and worth using for anyone in the area. read more

I love this place. I live just around the corner and go here all the time. They have really good sandwiches with the standard Boar's Head. The breakfast sandwiches are also really good. The guys who work here are awesome as well. They really try and get to know their customers. My only problem with it, is they charge extra for lettuce, tomato and mayo on the sandwiches. Come on guys!!! read more

Ordered: Toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with butter & an iced tea Received: chewy cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese & THEY DO NOT SERVE ICED TEA? So while I like stopping in here to get sodas and snacks when convenient, I wouldn't recommend stopping here in the morning for breakfast on the go... read more

They got rid of all their chip selection aside from deep river brand. There are so many similar places to get a Turkey sandwich that the fact that I cannot pair said sandwich with doritos or fritos means that I will be finding a new bodega-deli. read more

This place has everything you need. 2 liter of soda at 2 AM, check. Turkey and cheese on wheat at 4 AM, check. A 40 of OE to start the morning, check. That's the true definition of a convenience store. read more

I had high hopes based on the positive reviews & after paying nearly $10 for a reuben sandwich, but was disappointed how little meat was included (maybe 4 razor-thin slices of pastrami). The guys there were nice, but unlikely I'd go back. read more

Very sad this old time deli, with the old time deli aroma and sign is no more. The only thing remaining is the sign. Sad because the old guys always delivered what you ordered and knew how to make a sandwich. New guys cannot get a delivery order right, EVER. It's not rocket science. Its wrong EVERYTIME. Pretty sad because Super-Del is now closed who was opened 24 hours on the same block. Anyway eff this modern world, and get off my lawn. read more

Great deli with hot entrees that you don't have to take from a shared buffet. (Those are disgusting.) I can get restaurant-quality roast chicken and mashed potatoes, and it doesn't cost restaurant prices. I can even get a large or small! Grab a couple beers, and I'm set for the night in less than 5 minutes. And Victor's review? Yelp really needs a negative feedback option. Cheese is a premium item everywhere. Accusing them of stealing by "sneaking" charges onto the bill is a disgusting accusation, and he gives a neighborhood business an undeserved 1-star review. read more

I live around the corner and indulge on a York Deli sandwich a couple times a week. Quality sandwiches, friendly service and close to home. I would definitely recommend. read more

I go here to get York Deli Sandwich and coffees. I just went here for a Sausage and egg on a bagel and it was fantastic. The best one I've had in this area as of late. It's good every time. Make sure you hold your spot in the line because people come in and everyone tries to pay all at the same time. So, the guy who gets the paper wants to go ahead of the other guy who ordered a sandwich and then that's what happens. Prices are decent. If it was a little cheaper I'd go here every time. read more

Good small deli. It's right around my place so it's super convenient. They have some hot foods prepared but I mostly go for breakfast sandwiches. Definitely a thumbs up. read more

Great prices, perfect spot to get breakfast delivered on a Saturday morning. Decent beer selection as well.!

Terrific corner deli. The grilled chicken breast is terrific. The sausage and pepper lunch special is solid.

Awesome deli! The workers are friendly and their fresh sandwiches are great. My usual is the honey turkey sandwich, with swiss, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a plain bagel. Make sure to try their homemade crumb cake. They have a great selection of beverages. A small deli like most, but the best deli I have found in the UES. Thanks :) read more

If there is one thing I hear New Yorkers are fond of- it is their local bodega - So it should come as no surprise I love everyone at York deli. All of the people who work there are super nice. Things to note: They have great iced coffee. I especially like their roasted potatoes which they have all of the time. Also, their sausage and peppers sandwiches are VERY yummy (no need to go to little Italy). But most notable are the chocolate chocolate chip muffins which are highly addictive- so purchase at your own risk. Other delis / restaurants in the area have muffins. However, york deli have the best one's by far. pick one up on your next trip. read more

Great chicken and rice.Ok prices.Pretty nice.Good food.They have a lot of good snacks.

I love York Deli! Whether it is 4pm or 4am it, it is always the same guy with the ponytail behind the counter. The breakfast special platter is awesome. 100% guaranteed hangover cure. read more
