Master Critic Review

New York Market 7.7
Lakeview East
A low-key building-market deli that quietly delivers fresh-made sandwiches when you need a simple lunch that travels well. It’s at its best when you choose one protein (or falafel) and treat it like a straightforward sandwich stop, not a browse-everything destination.
Must-Try Dishes: Falafel sandwich, Chicken sandwich, Dolmas
Scores:
Value: 7.8 Service: 7.4 Consistency: 7.5 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 6.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.1
What makes it special: A tucked-away market deli doing fresh sandwiches inside a lakefront building.
Who should go: Solo lunch runners and quick grab-and-go people
When to visit: Weekday lunch hours
What to order: Falafel sandwich, chicken sandwich, dolmas
Insider tip: Decide your sandwich first—then add one easy side and leave.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking nearby; generally manageable midday, tighter during peak lakefront hours.
Dress code: Ultra-casual—jeans, athleisure, and grab-and-go attire all fit.
Noise level: Low—quiet market setting with minimal background noise.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—primarily a daytime lunch stop.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; a short line during peak lunch rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—falafel and veggie-forward sandwich options.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—falafel and select sides without dairy.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some fillings are gluten-free, but bread substitutes are not a focus.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No—this is a functional, grab-and-go lunch spot rather than a linger-and-talk setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s little to no table service—order at the counter and plan to take it to go or eat quickly if seating is available.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who want simple sandwiches; no kids’ menu or dedicated seating perks.
Best For
Better for: Quick, affordable sandwiches that travel well and don’t require waiting or planning.
Skip if: You want a full deli experience, lots of seating, or a destination lunch with atmosphere.
