While New York is known as the most expensive city in the United States, there are some local deli around the area where one can get a seriously good sandwich for an affordable price.
SUNNY AND ANNIE’S
Located in Avenue B along New York City, this bodega-looking deli offers an array of gourmet sandwiches with ingredients ranging from cilantro to seaweed. Do not be dismayed by the appearance as the “PHO Real” sandwich can make you think twice of ever doubting this place again.
Made with freshly sliced roast beef, cilantro, basil, avocado, tomato, and spicy sriracha, this sandwich will only cost you $6.99. That is something more gourmet than a classic pastrami sandwich you can get from expensive restaurants.
THIS LITTLE PIGGY HAD ROAST BEEF
The name of the deli can be a mouthful but their roast beef sandwiches, specifically the “That Way” sub can stop your prejudice on its track. Layered with succulent, slow roasted beef topped with mozzarella and gravy in a bun, this $5.50 creation may be the best roast beef sandwich you will eat at that price.
This special place is located along First Avenue in New York City and if you keep an open mind, you might realize that the messier the food looks like, the better tasting it gets.
BAOHAUS
This Taiwanese deli place along East 14th Street may remind you of the gourmet Bahn Mi sold in other expensive restaurant. But with a price tag like $4.05 for a “Chairman Bao” or $4.55 for a “Fried Fish Bao”, you might decide to make this your go-to place if you are craving Asian and Deli fusion.
CARACAS
Technically not a deli, this Venezuelan joint may give customers a similar take on a gourmet sandwich, only cheaper. Reminiscent of a taco and burger hybrid, this one-of-a-kind meal may change the way you look at sandwiches.
For only $8, you will be transported to the beautiful country of Venezuela after taking a bite of the chicken and beef combo. Add in a generous heaping of cheese, similar to the gourmet sandwiches you get in Schnucks, you better get ready for a food-gasm like never before.
