So yea, they know their way around a deli sandwich. These sky-high, foot-long sandwiches are feats of engineering, with a pretty quintessential Italian deli approach: Some mix of cold cuts or deli meats, with the option to add sweet peppers, hot peppers, provolone or American, oil and vinegar, lettuce and tomato. They&#8217;re known for a sandwich called \u201cThe Bomb,\u201d which combines the ingredients of two sandwiches on the menu and is therefore twice as tall as your average sandwich\u2014it has more types of meat than I can count (or personally need). Obviously TikTok loves it, but I prefer the classic Italian or to build my own with turkey. Bring cash and a friend (or two) to share. There&#8217;s no seating, so these are best picked up on your way to the Astoria waterfront\u2014though I have just eaten my order standing outside on the sidewalk, and I wouldn&#8217;t blame you for doing the same.<\/p>\n<p>174 5th Ave, Flatiron<\/p>\n<p>Court Street Grocers team took over this longstanding delicatessen and the sandwiches came out on top. I love hustling into S&amp;P for a workday lunch meeting: Just stand in line by the hostess stand, even if you&#8217;re still waiting for your dining companion to arrive, and when it&#8217;s your turn you&#8217;ll be whisked to the counter or a table where you can enjoy a perfect tuna melt, turkey club, or the Mel Brooks, which balances the healthy choice of roast turkey with a single slice of tender corned beef, plus mustard, slaw, and Russian dressing. There are also breakfast sandwiches that make use of the likes of pastrami and lox, plus a dairy section (hello melon with cottage cheese!), and great sides. Fountain sodas round out the retro experience, so go on and get an egg cream to wash it all down.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Food Sandwich and Meat\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Faicco(1)-Edit.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Like any proper deli, you can make your own at Faicco&#8217;s\u2014I did a riff on a BLT with turkey, and yes that&#8217;s how much turkey I got.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/faiccosnyc\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"image credit link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Faicco&#8217;s<\/a><\/p>\n<p>260 Bleecker St, West Village<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This spot in Astoria has been open since 1940!
