A True Taste of New York City
If you’ve ever wondered where real New Yorkers go when they want that authentic street bite, Gracies 48 Deli and Grocery is one of those spots that hits all the right notes. Tucked away in the heart of NYC, this bodega-style deli keeps it classic — no frills, just pure flavor and big city energy.
From the first step inside, you’re hit with that familiar aroma — sizzling meat on the grill, melted cheese, toasted rolls, and a steady flow of regulars coming in for their favorites. This is the real New York experience.
The Chopped Cheese
You can’t talk NYC deli culture without mentioning the chopped cheese — and Gracies 48 does it right. The sandwich comes out hot, chopped perfectly on the grill with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and that signature seasoning that gives it that “only in New York” taste.
The bread’s toasted just enough to give it a light crunch, holding everything together without falling apart. It’s messy, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a long day in the city.
The Philly Cheesesteak
Next up — the Philly Cheesesteak. Gracies 48 gives it a New York twist. The steak is tender, the cheese is perfectly melted, and the peppers and onions bring a solid balance. It’s less greasy than most, but still packed with that bold, savory flavor you crave.
If you’re a cheesesteak fan, this one’s worth the trip.
