Christchurch, meet Subway’s sophisticated city cousin. Freshly arisen from the ashes of 2011, New York Deli is back, the brick walls are laden with memorabilia, and their tasty line-up of bagels and sandwiches still packs more flavour than Public Enemy.
Now located behind the Mobile Station on Lincoln Road (with parking next to the railway line), let attentive staff create you something special from their range of fresh baked breads, market fresh produce and succulent unprocessed meats. Throw in some serious condiments on top of that, and you’ve got it made.
When it comes to the generous serving sizes, there’s room for customisation and the options are all reasonably priced. So whether you opt for the tender Brooklyn Short Rib, juicy Liberty Salad or the Salmon on Broadway, take a step into the Lower East Side, sit back under a bit of red-bricked nostalgia, and let the sound of old-time crooners and big bands carry you away to instant mealtime gratification.
