Mamma Mia!
You've never seen a sandwich until you've seen a New York deli style triple decker sandwich! These sandwiches are not created for the faint of heart, or those with a vegan philosophy! But these sandwiches are a must try!
Oh, and did we mention, like other New York City foods, these meat sandwiches are SUPERSIZED? Meaning, these are built for two!

Carnegie Deli
Carnegie Deli is one of the most famous delis in New York City (anyone remember Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song?) established in 1937 located on 55th street. Carnegie deli is open for most of the day from 6:30 am until 4:00 am. So no matter what time of day, you can always satisfy your deli cravings!
The first time I went to New York, I was FLOORED by the sizes of the Carnegie Deli meat platters. To say they are supersized is an understatement - each dish is warm and flooded with meats and cheeses. Prices, depending on the kind of sandwich you would like to eat, ranges form $15-$23. Worth every bite!

Stage Deli
The Stage Deli is minutes away from most Broadway theatres, located between 53rd and 54th street. This is my go-to place to eat before going to any Broadway show or even after a show.
The Stage Deli sandwiches are my personal favourite. They are so loaded with flavour and layers that my dad actually had to dare my boyfriend to finish an entire sandwich! Every sandwich at the Stage Deli is named after different celebrities, usually New Yorkers or with some kind of affiliation to New York. My favourites include the Howard Stern and the Conan O'Brian. Whatever your choice, these sandwiches are three layers of deliciousness and should be shared. I am always leaving the Stage Deli with leftovers! Sandwiches vary between $17.95 - $20.95. When you regain some appetite after the show, go for some dessert!

Juniors
While Junior's is mostly known for its cheesecakes, I am absolutely fascinated with their sandwiches. Junior's is a 50's inspired restaurant that opened in the 50's in Brooklyn and since then has locations all over New York and some throughout the U.S.. The one I have been to is in the heart of Broadway on 44th and Broadway.
They sell an array of traditional sandwiches but then they have a section called "Sensational Sandwiches" which include sandwiches many have never heard of. My mom tried the "Something different" and check out the picture below to see what it was! Sandwiches, again, are perfect for two , and while the traditional sandwiches range between $9.95 and $11.95, the "Sensational Sandwiches" are between $14.95 - $17.95.
5 Napkins Burger
The owners of 5 Napkin opened a classy restaurant in the Upper East Side in 2003 but the only dish people seemed to want to eat was the "5 Napkin burger"! They decided to give the burger its own home in Hell's Kitchen on 44th street and it is one of the most popular burger joints in the city!
What is the 5 Napkin burger?
It is a thick 10 ounce burger with Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions and rosemary aioli. There are other burgers to choose from, but if you are going to go there, why not try the famous burger! The 5 Napkin original burger is $13.95 but you can get a "burger for two" for $19.50. This isn't to say the 5 Napkin burger is only for one person!
