Huge pressed steak and cheese sandwich, cut in half with no mayo, plenty of steak, lettuce, onions, tomatoe and jalepeno for $7. Filling and really good! Next time I'm going to ask for avacado!
Seriously, from the time i was like 11 years old, this was the spot and we all knew about it. Since I was 11, I have gone to this place to get a salami and cheese, hot, which is accomplished using a sandwich press. This place has been well liked by locals for decades. I used to get a sandwich and a strawberry yoohoo…then they just stopped stocking strawberry yoohoos…and when I was able to get one, I think the formula changed cause it was nasty. Also the sandwiches are really really reasonably priced, as in cheap.
The place is really small and people pop in and out all the time and if you dont know any better they all have their own code. There is also lots of candy.
If you are one of those east harlem gentrification transplants that funded the buyout that took me elsewhere, you owe it to yourself to get you a sandwich…(wow…how does he go from gramatically sound to writing in brooklynese so easily? Its a gift my friend..) Brooklynese will help you better enjoy your experience at smashiess! Long live the urban experience!
At midnight:thirty on a thursday night, I, along with 3 other friends found ourselves in the east harlem area. When our tummies grumbled, the guys knew where we had to go: smashiess.
This no frills and very small deli has infinite menu items. If they carry the ingredient- they can make the sandwich. There is even a juice area where you can grab a fresh smoothie.
Smashiess is a standout when it comes to delis. Its probably the only deli i have been to where I ordered several sandwiches that were less than $3 a piece. And The only deli that I ate in, standing up, talking to the Mr. Smashiess himself (what a great guy).
Smashiess never closes so no matter what time of day it is , you will be able to grab a hero pressed thin, crispy, warm, melty and gooey.
If you are up for a challenge, smashiess has lots! You can win $200 if you eat five slices of bread in under 1 minute. Or get on the wall of fame if you can finish the 16 oz burger in under 5 minutes (ladies, if you accomplish this, you eat at smashiess free for the rest of your life…)
I really appreciate this place.

Its cash only here, but there is an ATM that most drunken people mistake for a slot machine.
