shhhhh!!!!!!
or soon this place will have a ghastly line coming out of it when all the lounges let out the drunks.
Don't ruin this.
This place packs a Alphabet City punch. Loaded with fresh sandwich ingredients and bang-for-your-greenback value, I don't think any sandwich here can disappoint. Okay okay, so I only tried two of their sandwiches. So what? When you enter a place, order a few things, and are supremely satisfied with what you have been given, I think it's ok to follow your emotions and deem a place worthy of four-star praise.
My girlfriend and I ordered the roast beef kimchi hero and one of the chicken-based presidential sandwiches. The latter was great and the former was good but the kimchi tasted a bit overripe. Typically that kind of kimchi needs to be put in a stew (kimchi jjigae) or fried (kimchi bokum), but definitely not in a sandwich. It's a good try though. What can I say, I haven't come across many delicatessens that take a stab at including kimchi into their lineup.
I would come again just to try their other sandwiches as everything sounded really intriguing. The only downside is that they don't take credit. Even if it's good.
OK, I confess... I'm there 4 days a week! Great value, generous portions with super fresh ingredients... I'm addicted to the kimchi hero with barbecue chicken and the pho real sandwich.
This is a 24/7 deli with a very efficient sandwich counter and yes, they deliver groceries too!
p.s. Now that you know that I go there very often, please don't stalk me.
Best Bodega in EV. Great sandwiches-and clearly the word is out. Even like the gruff attitude when you order delivery. p.s. they carry xmas trees and even deliver them. One of the places that makes you love nyc even more.
A sandwich shop in NY that doesn't have the chicken fajita panini, or any or those crap pre-made shit sandwiches at all of the other delis.
Pho sandwich is so legit. I ate with amazement how it actually tasted like Pho. Rare roast beef with sprouts, onion, cilantro, avocado, hoisin and sriracha. The should give a small bowl of pho broth and it could a "Vietnamese Dip"
Curry chicken w/ Seafood salad was delicious as well.
All the ingredients were fresh. Nothing was wilted or browning. Meats were fresh and tasty.
Delivery too!! I will probably be eating this everyday for the next month.
Incredible!
This place came highly recommended, and I was far from dissapointed. It looks like a corner grocery store from the outside, but don't let it fool you, this is a fantastic deli.
I had the pho real sandwich, and my wife had the bbq chicken kimchee hero. Luckily, i found a park bench a few blocks away because the pho real sandwich would have dropped me to my knees. Wow. For 6 bucks, what a value because I could only eay half. I gave the rest to a homeless guy...I think I made his day.
The bbq chicken kimchee was quite incredible also...never thought to use kimchee on a sandwich but I'm sold. I wish I remembered whatever else was on that sandwich. If someone could get a picture or just send me the ingredients of the bbq chicken kimchee hero...I would be forever in your debt.
You must go visit this place, it is truly a hidden gem in a city of great food.
Thanks Chris H for the great pictures...I'm going to try making the pho real at home. I'll definitely go back to this place every time I visit NY.
S&A are the sandwich masters, and I'm proud (and ashamed) to say that i've tried almost every single sandwich on their menu. Each have their distinct flavor profiles, and more importantly, situational relevance.
For example:
Turkey club - A hero of fresh sliced Boars Head turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc. This selection is perfect for the insatiable diner, due to its massive portions. I would save this monstrosity for a post-workout protein fix.
Mona Lisa - A breaded chicken cutlet, tomato, basil and a thick slice of mozzarella cheese. Huge on flavor, but not super filling, this is nice for a mid-afternoon snack, or a light lunch.
Pho Real - My mainstay 'wich. Thick layers of roast beef, and a complex assortment of fixings including avocado, basil, hoisin, sriracha and sprouts on a roll. This was my go to sammidge if I was too lazy to pop down to Nicky's for a proper bahn mi.
Turkey Burger - A roll heaped with a warm turkey patty lettuce, tomato, swiss cheese, avocado and onions. Thick, warm, and hearty, this is perfect hangover food combined with a gatorade and a fistful of Advil.
Fresh chicken burrito - A warm wheat tortilla stuffed with grilled chicken breast, tomato, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, avocado, etc. The sheer amount of fresh vegetables and fiber would always make me feel better about myself after nightlong bender of vodka and whiskey, chased with a greasy slice of pizza at 4am in the morning.
I could go on and on about their sandwiches in detail, but i'm getting misty eyed doing so. I moved away from the area a little while back, and I still crave them like a crack addict.
Sunny and Annie's has an innovative sandwich menu (try the Pho Real or the Kimchi Sub) and does a… Read more »
Perfect hour lunch date: pick up a hot p.h.o. real sandwich at Sunny & Annie's, walk a block north to Tompkins, stake out a shady bench, and enjoy the messy, dense concoction. On your walk back to the office, stop in at one of the cafes for a drink to douse the sriracha and wash out the beef/hoisin taste.
An excellent sandwich shop is an unexpected surprise in this mini grocery store. This sandwich bar makes tons of different sandwiches, all of which are written on pieces of paper and many which have interesting and political names. I had the Pho Real sandwich because it seemed very recommended on Yelp and I very much enjoyed devouring it! It really did taste like Pho Soup, only within a hoagie roll! It contained a good quantiity of roast beef (I think Boar's Head), cilantro, bean sprouts, hoisin sauce, and a few other condiments and sauces... Delish! If it only had seating, it would get 5 stars!
Their pho real sandwich is pho reeeeeeeeal
Best sandwich spot in NYC. I live two streets away and been coming here for years now. Best sandwich is the chicken cordon bleu with chipotles and the john kerry sandwich. I'm going to have to say their entire list is off the hook. They deliver and are open 24/7. They will deliver anything at any time even a case of coronas. Shout out to my mexicans for keeping this place official.
I just saw a guy drop an unidentified object into the split pea soup.
He glanced around to see if anyone noticed; when he saw me, I just shrugged, because I didn't know how else to react.*
So don't get that soup for the next couple days.
Good sandwiches though.

No Frills, fast, QUALITY food! Simple and Delicious place to pick-up food or have delivered... Not a place if you're looking for a place to sit, relax, and eat. It is a simple sandwich bar located in a corner grocery store.
If you are looking for something on the go, don't feel like cooking, but want something fast, good, and affordable this is the spot!
I had the pleasure of enjoying their sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich this am, and I frequently crave a mona lisa for lunch! I've only lived in NY for 11 days, and I've already gone back at least 4 times!
As other yelpers mentioned, there is not a menu avail online, so view the dry-n-erase boards in photos, pretty funny, worthy of a look.. even if you're not interested in ordering food :)
Good Stuff :0)
Oh, Sunny and Annie's. Good times. I would say the best thing about this place is its convenience -- you can pop in for a Red Bull and hit the ATM when you are on your way out for a good night, and you can call them the next morning hungover and ask them to deliver pretty much anything.
Their biggest business comes from their sandwich bar, which is -- as other reviewers have pointed out -- open 24 hours, really yummy and a great value for your money. It's a wonderful thing to walk into a convenience store and walk out with an awesome sandwich. The ingredients in Sunny and Annie's sandwiches are always fresh and they really pile them up high. They make all the standard deli sandwiches but if you really don't know what to get, they have this hilarious menu of "house" specialty sandwiches named after political figures like "Mr. Bloomburga" and "The Obama" that are all pretty good.
You can call Sunny & Annie's any time of the day or night and order any sandwich you can think of as well as other random household items. Recently I ordered a swiss cheese sandwich with tomato and avocado, a coffee, a bag of Stacy's Pita Chips and a container of Sabra hummus, and they delivered.
My only complaint about Sunny and Annie's is the inconsistency of their grocery items. Sometimes, if you come in for some Tofu Dogs or a container of Fage yogurt, you need to check to see if they're expired. Sunny and Annie's does not always check! So when they deliver, check your grocery items to see if any are expired before the delivery guy walks away. Other than that minor hazard though, Sunny and Annie's is a great little store and their convenience and selection cannot be beat compared to other small stores in the neighborhood.
I can't believe I never got around to reviewing this place. This was my go-to place for anytime I wanted a quality sandwich. Its a small, unassuming, deli that looks like the thousands of others in this city. Except, this one is legit. Meaning, this one has a large variety of delicious sandwiches. I've been here half a dozen times, and never left disappointed. Well... maybe once, but I think that's because it was my third day in a row of sandwich and I was getting a little bored. The point is, this place is great. And the price is awesome. For $6-$7, you get a HUGE sandwich with the works.
Also, peter d.'s review is hilarious!
if you are what you eat, i am a sandwich. i take sandwiching very seriously. to fuck with my sandwich is like fucking with my first born. in fact if i were to ever have a baby i am scared i'd give birth to a hoagie. scared because i'd be committing some sort of crime when i attempted to eat my baby, after the nurse wiped it down of course.
anyway.
these people fucked up my sandwich. so fuck YOU. here is my one star review.
i came in with money to spend, very fucking hungry. i'd be hungry for about two hours so i was basically on the brink of death. i scanned the menu board and decided to get something out of the norm for me, a 6 inch hoagie roll with roast beef (i never get roast beef!) swiss cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, a few hot peppers, salt & a dash of oil and vinegar. i was starving so i decided....yes, soup would be nice too. i'll get a small soup. the daily choices were minestrone and creamy chicken with rice which sounded nasty so i got the minestrone. grabbed a bottle of root beer and as my food was being prepared i seriously wanted to pat myself on the back. i thought between the sandwich, soup and drink i had quite a tasty arrangement of flavors going on. but i needed a finishing touch.
i almost got twinkies but that would have been too much so instead i opted for a twix.
guy rings me up and pulls out this enormous brown paper bag, for groceries. i mean, i know i ordered a lot but I don't want to walk home with a gigantic bag of food for just ONE meal for just ONE person. so I go, 'do you have a plastic bag?' and he says 'i want to steady the soup for you, this bag is better.' so I relent. i live close enough, no big deal.
as i am walking home, i was careful not to jostle my bag of food. my precious lunch.
so i get home and open the bag and the small soup has exploded all over the bag. mr. deli guy who was so fucking concerned for my soup didn't close the lid properly and my soup was everywhere. all over my soda, my wrapped sandwich, my twix. i had shell noodles, beans, and broth dripping from my fingers. fuckin' greaaaaat.
i remove the can, candy bar, and sandwich and take twelve paper towels and wipe it all off. a soup smell has permeated onto my lunch, and the soda bottle reeks of soup every sip i take.
so i bite into my sandwich. it was made so sloppily there was no way i could eat it. you shouldn't need to wipe your hand off because mayo and tomato juice jizz is all over your fingers every bite you take. plus, the roast beef was so fatty i'd take a bite and gag, and have to spit it out. listen i am AWARE of how gross that is, and i am still writing about it. i was repulsed. and mad. so as i am gagging on fat i am also groaning with disappointment too. it was a sight.
and i'm still starving as i threw half my sandwich out, more than half. so i open the twix and the chocolate is all melted off because hot soup was poured on to it. i was so angry i threw it across the room, it hit the wall.
it looked like shit smear.
never again. fuck this place.
My God...the best sandwiched ever. Are you kidding me...the Mr Blumburga...amazing. Pho Real, tastes like pho in a sandwich. Best part is that they will deliver anytime 24/7. Ordering them right now!
Mmmmm, love that Kimchi sandwich!
Small little deli owned by Koreans who have a great selection of sandwiches created by the owners as well as outsiders hoping to post their recipe on the make-shift menu board at the deli. There's a site dedicated to the deli, where if you have a great recipe idea, they'll use along their other popular sandwiches.
Talked to the owner and she was very generous and gracious to me...but then again I'm Korean so I got the "VIP" treatment.
If I'm in the mood for Kimchi, I'm heading here.
I'm in love.
Sunny & Annie's and I met when I lived down the block on 7th Street. I first became enthralled with the sandwiches and subsequently the late night delivery. Their late night beer drop offs have saved many a party at the crucial "whoops we're all out" moment.
However, S&A's isn't a one trick pony - as we speak I'm sitting sick in bed with a grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup, Robitussin, ginger Kombucha, and echinacea tea....all delivered by S&A in LESS THAN 20 MINUTES! Did they fly?
These guys are geniuses at life.
Seriously.
I don't mean to be the voice of dissent, especially considering I frequent Sunny and Annie's every single day, sometimes twice a day (coffee + drunken snack). But every single time I've gotten a bagel or a sandwich, I have been disappointed. Every. Single. Time. So disappointed, that I refuse to get sandwiches from them anymore. I can get more flavor at home with a slice of bread and a smear of peanut butter.
Other than that, coffee is good for bodega coffee, and it's cheap. Selection of chips, drinks, random foods, and "oops, just ran out of toilet paper/detergent/batteries/dog-food" is great. Prices are what you'd expect.
Damn good bodega, but overhyped sammys.
When I lived on Orchard and never left Manitoba's bar until at least 4am I would stumble down Ave B with various sandwiches from Sunny and Annie's Deli, the lettuce trailing behind me as I walked and chowed! I love anything with coleslaw and bacon or russian dressing. There are TONS of varieties of sandwich. I prefer the "sub" to the "roll".
BEST Deli Sandwich and BEST 24 hour DRUNK NOSH!
I can't be responsible for you waking up covered in mustard and crumbs!
This place doesn't look like much (just a little bigger than your typical every-street-corner-in-nyc convenience store), but they make a mean sandwich. I had melted Munster on roast beef with some peppers, etc, but I felt like I was eating a Philly cheese steak. In Philadelphia. Amazing.
Cons: there are "too many choices", and the sandwiches are "too big" :)
I love LOVE love and miss Sunny and Annie's. I use to live down the street and visited daily.
Then a couple of days ago I was walking by and stopped in and had a sandwich, pure yummyness. If you love sandwiches, 24 clean deli's, and good prices visit here!
Omg...I used to live down here and miss this place SOOO much. The sandwiches are great, the soup is decent. The best thing ever though, are the pizza bagels!!! They make a pepperoni one that may be the best drunk food ever created.
I just walked back from Sunny and Annie's. It's by far the best I've had in the East Village. I walk in and ask for the Monalisa. The guy throws in a breaded chicken cutlet in the microwave. The Korean guy that runs the place shouts at the people in the bathroom that they shouldn't be using it and how he spent $700 in fixing it.
The guy flattened my roll and I'm confused why he's doing it. It's toasted. Then loads of roasted peppers is thrown on. Then at least 4-5 leaves of fresh basil. Then multiple slices of fresh mozzarella. If you guys care of about food, yes, FRESH mozrella is put on. Then a load of balsamic. Then on with the cutlet. It costs $5.50.
I walk away eating it and I might've ejaculated in my pants. The sandwich is so big that it makes sense that the roll was flattened. After eating it, I realized in my bag that there's a pickle in aluminum foil. A nice finishing to the best sandwich I've had. Go there, it's so good.
New to the neighborhood & found out about this place from a review on Yelp. I searched for an online menu(there is not one, so stop looking & use the pics here on yelp to see what they offer). You can get almost anything you'd like but they only take cash so be prepared. They have an ATM in a cramped corner for your convenience. They also deliver, but I repeat IT'S CASH ONLY. You should also be prepared to barely understand what they are saying over the phone(sometimes). Great food for your money & it's open late, sometimes I feel like they are trying to rush you off the phone but no biggie.
This place rocks!!! 'nuff said.
The sandwich menu is huuuuge. Lots of stuff to try. Great variety. Interesting combinations. I love the kimchi and roast beef. John Kerry is good too. I had no idea the dumpy looking place on the corner had sandwiches and I never expected the sandwiches to be phenomenal.
I love splitting a sandwich with my girl as a lunch/snack before going on a wandering food tour downtown.
The guys behind the counter spent quite a while making our sandwiches, because they were very large and filled with all kinds of stuff. I ordered the Mr. Bloomburga and my friend ordered something with roast beef and swiss cheese and red peppers in it. Both were okay. The flavors were weird combinations. They both seemed like very particular tastes. If you found one on the menu that you liked, I bet you would really, really like it. Quality ingredients abounded.
They seemed to have a very large beer and other beverage selection. And they were selling a 64 oz jug of maple syrup for like $30!
There's no seating.
A great little deli! What I really love about them is their sandwiches, especially the "George's Hero". If you can get past the fact that it's named after Bush long enough to order it you'll be in HEAVEN! I don't know what they do to this sandwich, but it's so effing good! I can tell you the components, but it doesn't do it justice: roast beef, marinated red peppers, cheese and arugula served warm on a roll. See what I mean? You'll just have to try it.
Never tried the "Bloomburga", but it's on my list just for the name alone.
Oh, and they have cute little fresh squeezed OJs for a dollar and they're friendlier than most other delis, too.
Hmm. So i've only got delivery from here once and they blew me away! I got their Pho-real sandwich which has roast beef, cillantro, sprouts, red onions, tomatoes, avocado, hoison/sot sauce and I scarfed the whole thing down!! They only thing I would change from the sandwich would be to lose the avocado.. doesn't really go with the vietnamese taste!! anyhow,I can't wait to try some more sandwiches from here!
not really a breakfast person but my boyfriend is, so i made my own sandwich (grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, lettuce and mayo on toasted whole wheat bread) for 4.75.
tasted good and i was outta there in minutes.
does not have seats, fyi.
I chose to get a Sammy at Sunny and Annie's based on these Yelp reviews. Oh how i love Yelp, for it was a delicious sandwich indeed - a delicious sandwich with Asian flair!! I had the Pho Real sandwich (ha!). It had roast beef that was tender and juicy, avocado, hoisin sauce, tomato, red onion and some other delicious sauce to make it spicy. My boyfriend's sandwich had everything from curry chicken to octopus (I know it sounds gross), but tastebuds say "delish"! The price is right too. The sandwiches are a filling size and range btwn $5-$7. And to top it off, the workers are very nice. Although the deli is small and packed pretty tightly with your usual deli foods, snacks and toiletries, it's clean and organized. And an added plus... it's right by Tompkins Square Park - great place to eat lunch.
One of the neighborhood's best kept secrets. This bodega is 24 hours, and has an array of quality deli meats at a low price. The food is always quality, and they're always polite. They deliver (10$ minimum), and they have the best breakfast you can find: breakfast sandwich and a coffee for 2.50. In this city that has given way to overpriced everything, this company is staying successful by quality and low prices. I frequent this place at least 3 times a week, and I know I'm not the only one.
A great place to get a quick and tasty sandwich in the neighborhood. They have a huge variety to choose from, so there really is something for everyone (unless you are a sandwich hater - boo on you). The ingredients are always good, and they've never gotten sassy with me when I've asked them to leave particular things off of my sandwich. It's always nice when you don't get attitude for special requests! I'm a picky lady.
There are people out there that don't know what a Bodega is. I'll be honest, before I ever came to New York I hadn't heard the word before. Well if you're one of those people out there reading this, complexed as to what one is, go to Sunny and Annie's. Super cheap and super nice. I just got the Mona Lisa yesterday and it was delicious. It's a step up from you average hole in the wall bodega.
This all-night deli has one of the best sandwich counters in the city, with your usual fare in addition to dozens of unusual combinations like the kimchee sandwich, featuring roast beef, American cheese, kimchee, and Russian dressing. They're all about six bucks each, and pretty filling.
Sunny and Annie's: We have many beautiful sandwiches for your birthday celebration, each one filled with little surprises!
El Guapo: How many sandwiches?
Sunny and Annie's: Many sandwiches, many!
El Guapo: Sunny and Annie, would you say I have a plethora of sandwiches?
Sunny and Annie's: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Sunny and Annie's: Oh yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora.
El Guapo: Sunny and Annie, what is a plethora?
Sunny and Annie's: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you just told me that I had a plethora, and I would just like to know if you know what it means to have a plethora. I would not like to think that someone would tell someone else he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Sunny and Annie's: El Guapo, I know that I, Sunny and Annie, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
Small bodega, but awesome sandwiches. And they have vegetarian options, including an avocado sandwich and a veggie burger! While they're making your sandwich, you can also stock up on any other other junk food essentials.
