    Come here for the Montauk Hangover sandwich. Fried duck egg, creamed corn with pancetta, a spicy lobster sauce, and crispy fried leeks on a roll. (credit to Serious Eats)

    All of the sandwiches are great. But like many others the Chubby Chinese Girl ($10) is my favorite.

    It's a catering company, and the food reflects its midtown clientele. You're better off taking your lunch money to the deli and treating a friend to boot

    A great place to order lunch or cater your next event. The sandwiches are the stars here…we miss the Mr. Potato Skin…but our beltline doesn’t.

    For $1.75, you get an oatmeal raisin cookie bigger than your face. I would take a picture but I already ate it.

    You can't go wrong with any sandwich you get here. Also, there's a sit down area in the back of you're not in a rush.

    Don't get fooled by the handwritten lemonade sign. All the flavors are artificial syrups - wild blueberry was a disappointing electric blue.

    More of a lunch spot but the bakery items cannot be overlooked - not only do they sell S'mores but they are luscious. Poundcake slices not bad either.
