My man Lenny!

From time to time my lunch appetite brings me to wanting a sandwich. Not just any ole plain Subway/Blimpie sandwich either. I'm talking a deli sandwich with a little kick. Something that would remind me of a sandwich I would make in my house. If you are feeling the same way, then you may wanna take yourself over to Lenny's.

What is this Lenny's place?
Lenny's is chain deli that serves some AMAZING sandwiches. They have other items on the menu such as breakfast, salads, and soups, but they are widely known for their sandwiches. And these aren't just the typical meat and cheese sandwiches either (even though you can get that if you want). Each sandwich has its own unique kick to it and if that isn't enough you can add or remove any topping and get condiments on the side.

So what sandwiches have you had?
Umm....pretty much all the sandwiches that have roast beef or chicken in them. Sounds pretty fat of me, I know. Outside of going to an Italian deli or restaurant, Lenny's has a really good roast beef beef sandwich. Not that over cooked, dry, too rare roast beef, but that moist, juicy, melt like butter roast beef. But the roast beef in addition to the fresh green peppers, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, with a side of A-1 steak sauce is pretty unmatched. The chicken sandwiches are just as good. Lean, juicy, chicken cutlets, with all the fixings. Making me hungry all over again just talking about it. Outside of the roast beef and chicken sandwiches...I've heard that the other sandwiches are pretty good as well.

Well I know good sandwiches like this aren't going to come cheap so what's the damage in wallet looking like?
To be honest, Lenny's is a bit pricey for a sandwich. It can run you anywhere from 7 to 10 bucks. Granted that for the Times Square area that's not too bad, but still a little pricey. I'm use to paying $6.50 and getting a sandwich (on hero bread), a drink, and some chips for that price. $6.50 at Lenny's will probably get you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich if you're lucky.

Is there anything else I need to know about Lenny's?
Yes. I forgot to mention that sometimes ordering can be a bit overwhelming, especially to someone who has never been before. Don't think that you're going to be able to get on the line and decide what you want while the line is moving because you will be in for a rude awakening. The menu has a TON of things on there and a ton of ways to prepare it. Then you have to decide what type of bread you want the sandwich on. Do yourself a favor...look at a menu and know what you want before you go in there, because trying to figure out what you want and how you want it while the person taking orders is rushing you and the people behind the counter screaming out orders can be a huge distraction.
