Nick’s Gourmet Deli
“The breakfast sandwiches are solid, and the cold salads (especially their no-mayo tuna) and hot foods are delicious.”
“I used to take time after work to stop at Katz Deli or Sarge's Dell in Manhattan for their pastrami sandwich till I tried Nick's on a whim.”
“Right around the corner from LGA, definitely worth the stop before hopping on the plane.”

So I'm only able to review their breakfast at this point. From the first time I decided to try Nick's I realized it was a popular spot. Cars were doubled parked all over the place. I had to park a block away. So I've tried their bacon, egg & cheese (BEC) two different ways: club roll and regular roll. First the BEC part of the sandwich is killer. Not too much egg, cheese gets to actually melt on and yes crispy bacon. The crispy bacon is so key. Now the bread part of the sandwich has been equally as good. Nice soft inner roll with a just the right crispiness on the outside. A solid 4 star BEC. Also, the coffee was good, just wish everyone did the Dunkin Donut type of coffee lid. They had two guys working the grill and one guy working the register/coffee. Things move at a good pace there.
Where have you been all my life?
I've passed this place a million times on my way home from LGA and figured it was some hole in the wall. Today, I stand corrected.
The store isn't huge, but has an incredibly robust menu. It has all the healthy options of Soho on 31st Street, with none of the lines and chaos.
I got a chicken pesto sandwich, which came with roasted peppers and homemade pesto and was served on fresh olive focaccia bread. I had one bite in the car, and it was so good that I finished the whole thing before I drove away. Sandwich was $7, and it was huge.
They have a full hot food counter, smoothies, the expected breakfast options and a whole lot more. This is out of the way enough that it probably only gets traffic from neighbors, but it's one of the better delis I've been to in Astoria.
They are only open until 4, but I see a lot of delivery lunches in my future.
Nice deli that is in a residential area just down the road from LaGuardia Airport.
Decent breakfast sandwiches, Fresh squeezed OJ and good coffee. For lunch, they have hot food specials plus sandwiches, panninis and wraps. The sandwiches are good and they offer some nice gourmet options.
Nice little place if you are in the area.
This would easily be my favorite deli if it actually operated during normal hours. Every time I have a craving for good deli food and am in the neighborhood, this place is closed. If they stayed open past 7 even for just one night a week, I'd be sure to stop in and buy certain things for weeknight dinners.
When I was off last summer, I was actually able to swing by this place. The food and service are both fantastic. The breakfast sandwiches are solid, and the cold salads (especially their no-mayo tuna) and hot foods are delicious. Even something as simple as grilled chicken breasts have so much flavor here.
It's just too bad you can't eat from this place very often unless you work in the area and are looking for lunch.
