A great place to get a quick bite to eat. Self service and fast and even had outdoor seating. The buffet had a wide variety of fruits and salads, even at breakfast, and a hot buffet throughout the day. Lots of fruit, yogurt, snacks. Not much is missing. More

Incredible selection of hot and cold dishes to eat in or take out - and incredibly good value. Worth it just for the experience. More

We stayed at a nearby hotel but the price for breakfast there was outside our budget. After a short stroll we found the Deli. Here we were able to get fruit juice,tea/coffee and either hot breakfast (eggs,home fries and toast) or bagels. My wife also bought cereal and fresh fruit on a couple of occasions. Regardless the bill came to... More

Really, this place gives New York deli's a bad name. They have a good salad bar, if that's what you're looking for, but the hot food bar is horrible. They had hot soups, but one of them was supposed to a Gumbo or Jambalaya?? I was with someone from Louisiana and we both just laughed at the runny, watery stuff... More

the 53rd Street Gourmet Deli was right next door to our hotel, the Hilton New York. We went there after we checked in for a quick bite to eat after just arriving in the city. My uncle had a pastrami on rye, I had a BLT. Yum-yum!! We went back different times of the day/night. The deli is open 24... More

This is a deli that provides reasonably priced breakfast and lunch. We chose it as an alternative to the restaurant inside the Hilton at 1335 Av of Americas (6th Av), which is expensive and not good for young children who are finicky eaters. I think my egg and cheese sandwich was $2.50. My husband bought "to go" salmon and cream... More
