Best Sandwiches in East Harlem
Master Critic Review
Daily Provisions - Upper East Side
8.3
Danny Meyer’s neighborhood café on Madison where breakfast sandwiches, crullers, and composed lunch sandwiches share a bright, laptop-friendly room. It’s a polished way to do a BEC or veggie sandwich in Upper East Side style, with better coffee and more design than a corner deli.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich, Chickpea Veggie sandwich, Maple or white crullers

Insider tip: Use the bar-style seating if you’re solo or on a laptop—tables are better for full meals and tend to fill up first.
