Stopped in for a quick bite. I was really craving a sandwich. I got a turkey and Swiss (but subbed provolone). It was so good after a week of traveling and visiting the city. The atmosphere is good and the guy at the conter is pretty chill.

Last day in NYC and we stopped in before catching the train back to Ohio. All four of us had great food, but just as important was the great energy, smiles, and welcoming and friendly service. We got there before the lunch rush and ate in. The staff/owners interacted with everyone with kindness. They deserve all the stars!

I really enjoyed my first time here. I work in Midtown and have been searching for new lunch places near by…let’s say I’ve definitely found one! I had the Prosciutto De Parma and it was very good. I love how crispy the ciabatta comes and the flavor combination of the mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes on top of the prosciutto was excellent. Topped off with a hint of garlic mayo for an extra (much welcomed) twist. Will definitely be returning soon!

I ordered the halloumi cheese sandwich, and labneh with veggies on the side. The sandwich was mediocre at best. It had a strange tangy taste. I make far better Halloumi sandwiches for sure. The labneh was ok although I don’t think it had decent extra virgin olive oil if at all. The veggies included were carrots and cucumber, which tasted weird, definitely not fresh. I paid over $19 for this meal, absolutely not worth it.

My last meal in NYC this trip might have been my favorite. I loved everything about this experience including the staff. I can’t remember the name of the person who took our order, but she was the best! I was inside for probably 30-minutes and she connected with and made every person in the restaurant feel seen and appreciated. She was as amazing as the food, and the food was on point!

Picnic basket is my go to lunch place for a amazing panini! It’s way too good and fresh. I did not get to explore most of the menu over the years because I keep ordering the same pastrami panini each time!

Hands down the best sandwich shop in Midtown. May sound like a lofty claim but if you’re reading this review it seems you’re sitting on the fence. Trust your gut and this review and try out one of their hot pressed sandwiches. They will mix and match ingredients to your liking and their staff is amazingly awesome to boot!

I just discovered this little sandwich shop in the heart of Manhattan, and it’s now an obvious choice for my lunch break. Don’t miss out their Chicken Melt, I recommend! Plus, service is quite fast!

The Picnic Basket is a staple in my lunch rotation. It’s not the closest to my office but I still make it there once a week minimum because it’s worth the walk.
