Taste Of Delicatessen

Midtown East has a quiet way of balancing office towers with small storefronts. Taste Of Delicatessen fits neatly into that rhythm at 569 Lexington Avenue, between 50th and 51st Streets. The block sees steady foot traffic from commuters and lunchtime crowds, making it a practical stop for sandwiches, salads, and quick bites without detouring far from the subway.

Around here, delis often double as mini-grocers, and this one follows suit. Shelves stock pantry staples while the counter offers made-to-order wraps, cold cuts, and hot entrees. Regulars tend to order ahead for pickup, especially during weekday rushes. A map can help first-timers spot the entrance, which sits slightly set back from the sidewalk.

Beyond the usual sandwich lineup, prepared foods like roasted chicken, pasta salads, and soups rotate daily. Coffee and pastries round out the morning menu, though the real draw remains the lunch spread. Those who prefer to skip the line can call ahead—just keep the number handy for quick reference.

To confirm hours or place an order, call (646) 952-0002. Directions are available here. A short walk from Grand Central or the 6 train, it’s a reliable spot when time runs short.
