Set on the 86th Street corridor, 86 Deli is a narrow, casual deli and grill turning out made-to-order hot and cold sandwiches alongside snacks and coffee. It’s used as an all-day neighborhood stop for Philly cheesesteaks, chicken cutlet sandwiches, and deli heroes when you want something more substantial than a corner convenience store bite.
Must-Try Dishes: Philly cheesesteak hero, Chicken cutlet sandwich with fries, Grilled turkey and cheese hero

What makes it special: Neighborhood deli-grill where hot sandwiches like cheesesteaks and chicken cutlet heroes are made from scratch rather than pulled from a hot case.
Who should go: Hungry locals craving hot deli sandwiches on 86th Street.
When to visit: Lunch through early evening when the grill is most active.
What to order: Philly cheesesteak, chicken cutlet sandwich with fries, grilled turkey-and-cheese hero.
Insider tip: Plan for a short wait on grill orders; they cook sandwiches to order so they land hotter and fresher.
