The Corcoran GroupSeptember 12, 2013We love to come here for some of the best (and biggest) breakfast sandwiches in the city. Get the Jeff, or if you're not a fan of their amazing Portuguese pancetta, get the Pavia, which is also great!
Alan SchusterMarch 28, 2016Ingredients are fresh the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! The owner is usually around and takes great pride in his establishment.
Nuno JobMarch 6, 2017As a Portuguese person I was quite surprised to find Portuguese options in the menu. Alheira, morcela, linguiça. Nice surprise and great sandwich
Jonty WareingMarch 30, 2013The proprietor is amazingly friendly and will extensively explain all the sandwiches on offer. Expect to have your mind changed several times and end up with something that you wouldn't normally try!
John AJuly 6, 2015Really nice crusty torpedo style bread with generous sandwich toppings. For vegetarians recommend: Altan sandwich. Nice assortment of healthy drinks and snacks as well.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the Dave, a baguette stuffed with Italian sausage, fresh tomato, diced broccoli rabe, house-made piri-piri sauce & a layer of melted mozzarella. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. Read more
Trevallyn HallSeptember 28, 2015This place is a gem. The food is great and the staff are always welcoming. Try the Jeff sandwich. Or my friend Todd recommends the Todd sandwich too.
Adrian PhillipsFebruary 4, 2016The bread is light and crunchy and the service is incredible. After explaining the menu I was able to make a choice for a tasty breakfast sandwich. Ended up walking away with a surprise cookie!
Serious EatsMarch 19, 2013Satisfying sandwiches (for breakfast, lunch, or dinner) on crisp, crusty bread with various filling options, including Portuguese cured meats.
ᴡ FeinbergJuly 24, 2014The girls managing the counter were extremely friendly and helpful. Awesome menu options. Everything was fresh and tasty, try the Jerry with smoked salmon!
Alex BosworthAugust 17, 2016Lgbt sandwich was very high quality and tasty and service was also surprisingly engaging
Damon WebsterMay 25, 2013delicious and unexpected. Just the right crunch on the bread, meatballs with a bit of pinache, and tasty surroundings. Yeah, I'll be back,
Citi BikeMay 3, 2015One of our favorite places to grab a quick sandwich. Interesting and delicious options, all on incredible bread. Dock a bike across the street at 9 Ave & W 45 St
Cesar RazuriNovember 30, 2014Great original sandwiches with lots of options to choose from. Staff is great, the bread is even more amazing!- Serious EatsApril 22, 2014Crisp, airy baguettes sourced from a Portuguese bakery in New Jersey take City Sandwich's already-delicious offerings to the next level.
eric mortensenNovember 30, 2012The simple name belies the delicious and unique food supplied within. These Italian-Portuguese sandwiches are a delight, as is the friendly staff. Best food I've encountered in the area.
Cassandra LeveyOctober 14, 2016I got the summer take out kale and mozzarella and put in goat cheese and avocado =yum
Chrissy NguyenNovember 14, 2012Delicous Fatima Sandwich ( Portugeuse Octopus). Bread is really fresh and light. Their Panna Cotta is really smooth and yummy too.
Known normally for lunch, these guys make excellent breakfast sandwiches too, and in affordable half-sizes. Pick: the omelet+sausage+mozz+cabbage Marco, which is reminiscent of a sausage & peppers.
Christine ArboledaAugust 25, 2013The Nuno with blood sausage is rich and tasty the Dave is spicy and delicious. The bread is crunchy and fresh.
Johnnie SkywalkingAugust 23, 2015Choose Dave. It's big but it's so good and you find yourself finishing it so quick.
Real Cheap EatsNovember 12, 2011The "Nuno" is the one to try ($9.95). "It’s an inspired concoction of blood sausage, broccoli rabe, mozzarella and fixins, scrunched between City Sandwich’s superbly crusty and fresh sandwich rolls." Read more
Andrew KMay 29, 2015In few words: Tasty sandwiches! It's not the best in the world. But quite tasty. Worth to visit. At least ones during your stay in NYC.- A SNovember 28, 2012Good and interesting sandwiches, very helpful and welcoming service. Talk with Michael, the owner, and you can tell he loves his job. Try the panna cotta dessert.
Marlene EngelNovember 23, 2014I had "the James" and my date had "the Dave". Both very flavorful satisfying sandwiches. Reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Good service- Nicolette DekensMarch 14, 2012Excellent service! I had the Altan: fresh mozzarella, , tomato and lettuce: it was perfect exactly right for a warm day! They offer coffee for free which I think is nice!
Christine AsdourianMarch 12, 2014This place is a true gem! Delicious fresh sandwiches and salads, friendly service and amazing deserts: Pastels and panna cotta. Awesome!
This place is amazing Staff/Owner I rocks & everything on menu is delish (except can't attest to meat sandwiches, but heard they are yummy!
Esther MoonOctober 4, 2012The James and the Franco are awesome! The bread is fantastic crusty and soft at the same time! And you the panna cotta may be one of the best in the city!!
Jorge SierraJuly 6, 2011If you are looking for a sandwich overstuffed with Meat and other toppings, this is not your place...."gourmet" sandwiches ONLY and they are legit....try the Henrique, you wont be disappointed!
Margot WitJuly 26, 2013Don't let the interior fool you and don't walk past this place, they're sandwiches are goood and made with fresh ingredients. And what a surprise: French 'pain'! Yum!
Top sandwich spot in NYC: try the Henrique and the Franco - nothing like it anywhere. Soups are excellent. Carb free option for the anorexics. Don't forget the exquisite Panna Cotta!

Barrie SegalMay 16, 2013Altan sandwich is a real palate shredder... the bread is no joke. but it's really good. I would like to eat this again but not sure if physically possible.
Nigar DvlcJuly 17, 2018The bread used for the sandwiches were really good, but our sandwiches were okay. We had chicken and roast beef, but I think they’re pork products are their specialty. Not bad overall.
All of their sandwiches are delicious, the Dave and the Victoria are my favorites.
A little long to make the sandwiches, but it's cuz they're fresh! Victoria was great
Tom JenningsNovember 10, 2011Super friendly and helpful staff. Cool choices. I liked the Dave sandwich. The baguette that it comes on is great!
