Cafe Metro, New York City

Café Metro is a small chain of coffeeshops around Manhattan. We had the pleasure of living in a hotel next to one outlet on 54th Street and 7th Avenue. As most of the hotel packages in the States do not include breakfast (and the breakfast is priced to ridiculous levels), Café Metro was our salvation in several mornings.

The shop is a small deli that sells salads, different kinds of sandwiches and a set of bagels. Especially the sandwiches were extremely delicious, and the bagels were not bad either. There is also a selection of sweet pastries and cookies.

The service is fast and the stuff is fresh. Highly recommended. Not that pricey either.

Cafe Metro is a chain of sandwich shop. The can be found mostly in Midtown East.

It's a great place for lunch if you are visiting on a tight budget. We all know that Manhattan is an expensive place :)

They sell all sort of sandwiches, warm and cold; salad and fruit lunch boxes, juices and soda's.

I like their (warm) Italian sandwich, which is pepperoni, salami and cheese on a toasted ciabatta.

I think they're much better than Subway's, or at least a good change from them :)

Look at their website for full listing of branches.
