Genuinely good deli! In the financial district!
I happened upon Ashby's a while back but didn't actually go until this week. I've been three times, twice today, and expect to frequent the place.
Ashby's is clean, the employees are attentive to your requests, and the fact that it's on a side street without much going on I think makes it less crowded.
Haven't had a salad, but all of their ingredients look fresh and edible. Meats are quality, which is essential for me. I like that you can grab a little prepared half sandwich for a couple of dollars.
Prices are competitive. Paninis and salads I'd say are around 6.50. A sandwich is less, around 5-6. Breakfast sandwiches and bagels start at 1.50, or maybe it was even lower.
Breakfast note- they don't make individual egg orders for sandwiches, but have pre-made scrambled eggs, egg whites, bacon, etc. I thought it tasted fine though and cut down the time I had to mill around the deli.
I work in the same building as Ashby's. I'm not impressed with their food at all....especially since it's not that cheap. The only thing I can say is that they have good brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
It's sad that there aren't many good eating establishments around this area.
Run of the mill office worker food establishment. Sandwiches are not particularly spectacular, and the eggs in the morning are the worst! Overcooked, prescrambled, jiggly mess forced between two pieces of toast. If you go early, you can catch them melting down a block of egg whites over a pan to make scrambled eggs. Ashby's is not all bad though. Their soft chewy chocolate chip cookies and steel cut oatmeal are redeeming enough to warrant three stars.
Ashby's is my go to for lunch from work. I usually bring my lunch but when I don't I tend to run down to here. The Soup, Sandwiches, and Salads are all good (or at least the vegetarians choices are). I usually get a salad or the portobello, onion, and mozz panini.
The only thing that bothers me is that I always ask for no bag (I try to reduce my garbage) and they still end up giving me plastic utensils and napkins that I never want.
Ol' Ashby's. I have worked in this are for about 4 weeks and have eaten here 10+ times. The sandwichs are made on the spot and they even let you mix and match your own style. The choclate chip cookies are good. The selections of chips is great and the soups are pretty good. I don't know about the salads. The look deslicious and very fresh. I know the meat for the sandwiches is fresh, I think I once heard the farm animals out back. All the meats are sliced in front of you. The sandwhich is made to specifications and even comes with standarized price.
This is the best lunch sandwich shop I have found in the area. I gave you 4 stars because you haven't been completely nice to me yet.
I have been eating in the financial district for quite some time now and the food for most of this area is...well....terrible! Recently I discovered Ashby's and it is a breath of fresh air. The sandwiches items are fresh, the soups are great and it usually takes under five minutes to order and pay. I have eaten there about 15 times in the past month.
Ashby's is a decent on-the-go lunch spot in lower Manhattan. It's a small place and gets crowded easily, but the cashiers move swiftly. The salads are very good, but the price adds up since you pay by ingredient. (I prefer places that charge a set rate for lettuce+5 ingredients). They also have a decent selection of soups of the day and gourmet sandwiches and wraps. My only gripe is that many of the workers not only aren't conversant in English (very frustrating when you both point to and say the name of a vegetable and they move to pick a different one up with the tongs) but also don't know the items on their very menu. I was in front of a very long line and had to correct both the type of wrap and meat in a set menu item that should have been rote to the counter person. That wrap (the Northeastern with roasted turkey, bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomato) was very tasty, but had I not intervened, I would have been chewing on something else entirely. They also run out of all kinds of ingredients very early and do not replenish them and make some odd choices such as including croutons in a chicken ceasar wrap, which makes for a most unwelcome texture.
