Sunny & Annie's Deli
8.1
A real late-night problem-solver: deli speed with a menu that goes beyond standard bodega habits, so you can get something filling without a sit-down. It’s best when you commit to one signature sandwich and a quick add-on rather than over-ordering like it’s a full meal service.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pho #1 sandwich, Banh mi-style sandwich, Fresh smoothie
Scores:
Value: 9.2

What makes it special: Late-night deli energy with signature sandwiches people seek out.

Insider tip: Pick one signature sandwich—don’t turn it into a long order.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited late at night and easier if you circle east of Avenue B. Rideshare or walking is recommended.
Dress code: Ultra-casual—anything goes, from hoodies to post-bar fits.
Noise level: Low to moderate—small space with counter chatter, but not loud or chaotic.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes max, usually just a short line to order
Weekday lunch: No wait typically
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetarian banh mi options, egg-based sandwiches, smoothies.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—veggie banh mi (ask to skip mayo) and smoothies.
Gluten-free options: Very limited—no dedicated gluten-free bread; smoothies are the safest option.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if it’s a very casual, late-night vibe—great for chemistry checks, not for lingering or impressing.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations—order at the counter and grab a small seat if one’s open, or plan to take it to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids and teens earlier in the evening; late-night crowds skew adult and post-bar.
Best For
Better for: Late-night speed, filling sandwiches, and reliable quality when full restaurants are closed.
Skip if: You want a sit-down meal, strong gluten-free options, or a place to linger and talk.
