Vibes: Late Night Legends Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Quick Bites Champions Comfort Food Classics
Eastside Deli is a 24-hour Lexington Avenue counter serving hot sandwiches, breakfast platters, and basics to hospital staff, students, and subway riders. It isn’t a destination on atmosphere, but the ability to grab a bacon-egg-and-cheese or a hot hero at almost any hour keeps it in regular late-night rotation.
Must-Try Dishes: Bacon, egg & cheese sandwich, Philly cheesesteak hero, Grilled cheese sandwich
