    Bite is a great little neighborhood restaurant conveniently located on 14th street and third ave. It's run by friendly and dedicated people. The food is great and cheap! I love the sangria!

    I LOVE this place. The friendly accommodating quick attentive servers. The delicious flavorful food with fresh interesting ingredients. The live music that pops up. Best Mediterranean in the EV!

    Great sandwich/salad/soup place. Middle eastern vegan w/o oily eggplant spicy, middle eastern mushroom, feta salad! Mix of black bean and tomato soup! Great prices. Slow service. My "go to" lunch spot

    Order their shakshuka/shakshooka (poached eggs in Tunisian tomato sauce with feta & pita) & their mallawach (Yemeni puff pastry pancake with a hardboiled egg, chopped salad & spicy tomato sauce).

    Great place for paninis, and they have really good substitutes for their vegan options (vegan chicken parm, etc)! Expect a bit of a wait though, even when there’s not a lot of people in there.

    First time here and I ordered the prosciutto panini with fresh mozzarella. I love eggplant so they added sautéed eggplant in my panini and the owner gave me a sample of eggplant purée too! Lovin' it!

    Cheap&good salads, sandwiches and soups in East Village. Same price as the delis nearby and much better! Go for the Mediterranean salad. Ask for the small version of it with a sandwich of your choice

    Mediterranean salad is delicious - the combo of hummus and eggplant with cashews works really well. Really filling, especially with the pita bread.

    The tuna panini is really good (a bit spicy and a bit heavy). Also a big fan of the Sabich -- they replace the traditional pita with Balthazar roll, which I think is a big improvement.

    The small Split Pea soup was delish, lots of veggies and homemade; the turkey pesto panini on multigrain was awesome very healthy and filling; oh also a plus it was $12 for both & a drink tax included

    Make a special trip to enjoy one of their delicious sandwiches. Start with the Middle Eastern Egg Sandwich, then have a Tomato Soup and a Prosciutto & Mozzzarella Panini.

    Egg sandwich is amazing with tomatoes and a special sauce. Comes w coffee for $3.50 before 11 on weekdays. A true bargain.

    The mediterranean egg sandwich is fabulous. Somewhat healthier alternative to your typical sausage/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich!

    The Salami sandwich with the balsamic vinaigrette is pretty much sandwich porn. My fave sandwich place in the city & second favorite in the country.
