Standout details
The Infatuation says the celebrity-named sandwiches and the classics are the most popular orders, and that before 10am the breakfast burrito is a good choice. City inspection records show an inspection on August 17, 2026.
Honest verdict
A real neighborhood institution rather than a destination meal. I could not confirm current hours from a source I could open, so call (212) 923-0700 before a late trip. The cross street here is approximate.
