Rare babs135 Posted July 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes, I know New York is full of eateries, but we will be arriving at our hotel, The Archer, which is Midtown at about 8 pm after a flight from the UK and will want to eat. However, based on past experiences, ie long flights and time difference, we won't want a big meal or even something like a burger. Is there anywhere that will do a simple sandwich and a drink?

Nitemare Posted July 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Literally 500 restaurants in a 15 minute walk from your hotel, including all of these: http://www.tripadvisor.com/RestaurantsNear-g60763-d5550873-Archer_Hotel_New_York-New_York_City_New_York.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bars will serve you a sandwich or burger. There are a few on every block depending on cuisine you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted July 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2015 There are a few Jewish delis that have sandwich and some have burgers Ellens Stardust dinner 50th and Broadway- nice place with singing waiters that are out of work Broadway actors. Carnegie Deli. 854 7th Ave and 55th- great deli http://www.juniorscheesecake.com/our_restaurants/times_square/ this place has burgers also Lindy is another famous deli with burgers http://www.momswhothink.com/cheesecake-recipes/lindys-new-york-deli-cheesecake.html there are many other places in walking distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixiegal Posted July 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I highly recommend Ellen's Stardust Diner. We went after seeing Wicked for my daughter's birthday and I can honestly say I enjoyed it more than the show! You will have a lot of fun and the food is very good, especially the desserts. I'm surprised more people don't talk about this place but, then again, NYC is chock full of diners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted July 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Carnegie Deli. 854 7th Ave and 55th It's been closed for months, accused of stealing gas. No one is quite when (or if) it will reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they reopen, it was closed 2 months ago but I thought it was supposed to reopen. Still cannot believe Stage deli closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted July 25, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) The whole situation is a mess, involving a nasty divorce, an illegal gas line, fines to the city, payments to Con Ed, etc. In the meantime, you can always head to Katz's (205 East Houston Street) where the famous faux-orgasm scene in "When Harry Met Sally" was filmed. The Stage closed because they were hit with a rent increase they couldn't handle, whereas I believe the Carnegie owns their entire building. It happens all the time here, unfortunately, as real estate prices are going through the roof again. Edited July 25, 2015 by Langoustine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy's and Juniors are both is times square area and both pretty good pastrami, had one at each place in May, 1950's movie Guys and Dolls talks about Lindy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare markeb Posted July 25, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm reading this as a desire for easy food, not an experience. If so, no problem, but the light, quick sandwich may require a coke and a drink at the hotel bar later. Although the hotel bar looks pretty nice, so a sandwich there is a definite option. Every corner in Manhattan has a bodega that almost always has a sandwich line. 8:00 on Friday is an odd time for them, but there will be one nearby. You can certainly walk to Times Square if you want, but if you're just looking for food, there should be plenty near your hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However have made a note of some of the suggestions people have made for another day. Can't cope with a big(ish) meal after a long flight. Earl of Sandwich would have been perfect but they close early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted July 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Many people refer to hot dogs sold by carts in the street as ""Dirty Water Dog" I normally will have one on any trip to NYC, it is questionable how often water that boils hot dogs is changed.
