NY Grill & Deli

On Alphabet City’s main drag sits a spot where sandwich creations sit shoulder-to-shoulder with breakfast classics. NY Grill & Deli turns a tiny storefront into a line of pre-packaged delights and full plates. You’ll find thick deli meats stacked just past the counter, house-mixed spreads in chilled bins, and trays of eggs that somehow stay warm until noon. Salads appear under sneeze guards like edible still lifes, while steaming platters arrive with a side glance at the coffee urn. Busy streets just outside give the pace a stamp of authenticity—no polished quiet here.

Across from the fire station sits the building numbered 191, between East 12th and East 13th. Give the kitchen line a ring to decide your order before the door swings open—(212) 228-7878.
