Lee's Deli

My go-to spot. In a Financial District full of $14 burgers, undersized portions, long lines and lackluster service - this Lee's is outstanding in so many ways. My sandwiches are always exactly as ordered - $7 here will get you out the door with a huge sandwich, chips, and a drink. I can't think of a better deal anywhere around (and I've worked downtown for over 20 years). Bonus: chow fun at the buffet.

If you're looking for gourmet, go somewhere else. This place does the job and it does it well for cheap. I've recently given up my Starbucks breakfast addition and have traded it in for Lee's. Pick up a breakfast sandwich (bagel, egg, ham, cheese) and a large coffee for under $6 and no wait. Great for cheap sandwiches during the lunch hour and if you have a craving for a salad or some cheap Chinese, it works. Don't forget about the soup counter where you can order a variety of made-to-order ramen. I highly recommend the Wonton Noodle Veggie for $5.70.
