Alan's Marketplace - City of New York

Much better prices than delis in Midtown; I routinely paid around $10 for a sandwich, chips, and drink, which is pretty good in inflation-era Manhattan. They always gave me good portions for my egg salad sandwich, and the staff was nice.

I was charged extra for a sandwich that was $8.95. Because I paid with a card, my total came to $9.31, and then it changed to $10.14. I can't believe it! I won’t be going back. Just because they didn't realize I was a student with a backpack? Come on!

Always issue with price..you ask how much food is you are told one price..get to pay and a higher price and the person who told u initial price looks dumbfounded...its nearby my office but hate going there always issue with price always. .$8 for 3egg whites on a roll is pure robbery!!!!!

I routinely go here because it’s convenient. Here are some good and bad:1. Pay Cash if you can. You get a nominal fee if credit card2. The column in the middle of the store is annoying AF. Always have to go around.3. Salad bar is totally good for me. Cheaper than moat places. But for what i want on my salad, its totally good.4. ATM always seems like its out of order. Don’t rely on this place for an ATM.5. The workers work hard. But the cashier should stick to cashiering. During high times, to have cashier go down the counter to make a coffee or other drink slows things down.

This is a typical shop offering a variety of snacks and beverages. I often opt for their sandwiches, which are both delicious and reasonably priced. Thanks to their student discount, I can get a large sandwich for around $6, making it substantial enough for two smaller meals. For a small independent deli, they have some unique items on their menu that go beyond the usual sandwiches. One of my favorites is the turkey and brie with sun-dried tomatoes.
