New York City Deli

I work in Downtown LA, and lunch options can be overwhelming (and often overpriced!). But I've found a great sandwich spot in New York City Deli.Honestly, time is precious during lunch, so I love that I can order online or just call ahead. They're always super quick - my order is usually ready for pickup in about 10-15 minutes. Perfect for a grab-and-go situation.My standard order? The hot pastrami sandwich. It's piled high with tender, flavorful pastrami. And to wash it down, I always get an iced hazelnut latte. It's the perfect combo.The staff is always friendly, even when they're busy. It's a classic deli vibe - no frills, just good food and good service. If you're working or visiting Downtown LA and you're craving a delicious, no-nonsense sandwich and a great latte, New York City Deli is a must-try. Five stars for quick service and a killer pastrami!

DTLA's lil hidden Gem place is great .. long time customer there deli sandwiches are sooo good & always fresh. But customer service is the real reason things taste better, the cook makes things with love.

Great service! Great food! Pride in what they do! Reasonably priced. What else can we possibly ask for?

I LOVEEEEE THIS PLACE! Everything is so good the, they have perfect sandwiches. I just stopped eating so I could leave this review

Straight to it:5 Stars: Last minute order of Oatmeal Raisin cookie because my bff who loved these cookies would literally raise from the dead if I didn't try every new ORC I crossed paths with. This particular ORC was delectable, fresh, moist, with just the right amount of raisin-to-oat ratio. Superb. Chef's Kiss!5 Stars: NY City Deli sandwich on French baguette (no Mayo due to childhood trauma involving one big brother and one big spoon of the white goo) plus pickles, because.. pickles. And two packets of fancy Boar's Head mustard because I forgot to add mustard. 2 Stars (sadly): I ordered the yogurt bowl touting fresh berries atop a bed of granola. Truly didn't put much thought into the order of things. Granola should most definitely be a "topping," as anything with even the slightest bit of moisture will render the crunchy, delicious crumbles a sad bed of mush. Which was the disappointing case with this bowl. Although it appears to be fresh because strawberries usually have the telltale signs of pre-preparedness but again, sadly, I do not think these are made on-site. The actual yogurt was meh, almost at room-temperature, slightly congealed with a bit of a skin-like texture on top and mixed with the mushy granola, it left this gal missing the tartness of a good and fresh dollop of the creamy goodness. I'm most definitely spoiled by the fruit-n-yogurt (bionico) just over the bridge at La Michoacána in East LA. I'll spend the additional $1 and stay on the other side of the bridge for the freshest of fresh fruit-n-yogurt.Otherwise, I'm glad I tried it! I've had this deli tagged as a must-try since it's fairly close to home. I'm also a sucker for a good sandwich. Sounds like an easy item to serve up but you would be surprised by what some shops sell around here. At any rate. NY Deli in DTLA, come for the sandwiches and Oatmeal Raisin cookies!Last note:It's 2023 when I'm penning this review. I'm sad to report that DTLA is going through an ugly phase. This little deli is not in a particularly attractive or friendly part of the city. Don't drop in expecting WeHo or even the Arts Dist., and! Don't expect to have lots of space to sit and eat. It's a tiny shop with tiny space. I'd file this spot in your "takeaway" file. Still! Go and grab and go!

I came here today with minimal expectations, just aiming for a sandwich, but ended up leaving with not only the sandwich but also a fruit, yogurt, and granola bowl. It exceeded my expectations - the ham and Swiss sandwich was exceptionally well-made, and the bowl was great. The man who took my order was so polite and patient with me. I'll definitely be returning!

Thank you Mari and New York City Deli staff for a delicious and healthy lunch. Our team really appreciated the fresh ingredients and the care and detailed way in which the food was packaged. We really appreciated the excellent customer service and timely delivery of our food that ensured we started our staff meeting on time. We will definitely order from here again.

Had a grilled pesto Chicken sandwich with a side of potato salad. The sandwich was so delicious. They have so much to choose from. I just wish they had better parking. It's not their fault, it's LA. Definitely will be returning . I forgot the name of the sandwich I purchased, but I believe it was the grilled chicken pesto with cheese and tomato with spinach. BOMB!

Probably our best lunch place in the FashionDistrict!Tasty sandwiches ( my favorite is Pastrami), crunchy, colorful salads with delicious dressings, everything made fresh at the order! All I had so far makes me want to go back to try more! And on top of really good food, you get the kindness, smile and care from the family who runs and owns this business! Thank you!

Randomly came across this place on yelp as I was craving a sandwich for lunch. Was not too far from me so decided to order for pick up. Did not disappoint. Great service and very welcoming place.
