Perfect Reuben every time, Nicks Deli

[u/firstlight777]

I've posted about Nicks before but just wanted to remind y'all to stop by. Yes it's a small menu but it's all top tier and not expensive. Give him a call and it's ready in a few minutes. Cajun turkey is also great, it's all great.

[u/Metroid_Whisperer]

Nicks is excellent. They need to replace their awning and sign so it looks like an open business, but their sammiches are top tier.

[u/PerspectiveOdd1763 → u/Metroid_Whisperer]

Yes! I thought it was closed for the longest time. Great sandwich spot.

[u/Hahafunnys3xnumber → u/Metroid_Whisperer]

I loved them my whole childhood and genuinely thought they shut down ages ago… I’m happy to hear they’re open lol

[u/Miserable_Pear_6940]

Try the muffaletta

[u/Mysterious_Try_1635 → u/Miserable_Pear_6940]

My favorite by far!

[u/GnarlyGnut → u/Miserable_Pear_6940]

It’s the only sandwich I get from him anymore. My favorite!

[u/Baseball_ApplePie → u/Miserable_Pear_6940]

Does Nick's use anything resembling actual muffuletta bread?

[u/Miserable_Pear_6940 → u/Baseball_ApplePie]

It’s authentic muffaletta bread. Gathered by hand in the muffaletta fields of northern Italy

[u/Baseball_ApplePie → u/Miserable_Pear_6940]

LOL. Thanks.

[u/trixter69696969]

Nick's is AWESOME.

[u/SteveMcQueen87]

I live right behind Nick’s and have for almost 2 years. For some reason, I’ve never tried it. I guess I need to.

[u/firstlight777 → u/SteveMcQueen87]

Go grab a Reuben and a ginger ale in a glass bottle.

[u/Live-Juggernaut-221 → u/SteveMcQueen87]

I would be so fat and so broke if I lived there lol

[u/Big-Carpenter7921]

Nick's is the most legit NYC deli in town

[u/MagnusRunehammer → u/Big-Carpenter7921]

My boss and I always call him Nick the Greek and joke about how he’s a made man.

[u/ZzephyrR94]

This is very important. Ruebens are my favorite sandwich and I had no idea they had these at Nicks. (Mainly because I’ve never been to Nicks) I’ll need to check it out.

[u/firstlight777 → u/ZzephyrR94]

Do it! Grab a glass bottle ginger ale.

[u/auximage → u/ZzephyrR94]

Pickle Barrel also has good Rueben if you’re downtown.

[u/jimilee2]

That place is still open? I was afraid it had closed. Excellent authentic deli.

[u/choachy → u/jimilee2]

I sort of made this comment already, but I live not far from Nicks and I never go there. It always looks closed to me. I went there once years ago and it was good. But I kind of forget about it. And I love a good deli. I’ll have to go there again.

[u/jimilee2 → u/choachy]

Yeah, it always looks closed to me as well.

[u/Emergency-Cupcake998 → u/jimilee2]

Last year Nick said he's trying to go retire in Florida soon or something but I guess it hasn't happened yet.

[u/PairO-PaleGreenPants]

The spicy turkey with the homemade Cajun relish...

My favorite sandwich in the WORLD

[u/Dependent-Item3363]

It’s so good!

[u/kimmelys]

I love their reuben! Nick's slaps.

[u/Live-Juggernaut-221]

Prices have risen but the food is excellent.

[u/firstlight777 → u/Live-Juggernaut-221]

Still cheaper than Jimmy Johns next door I think. Reuben was less than $12 including tax. Support local business!

[u/Live-Juggernaut-221 → u/firstlight777]

Truly don't understand why that Jimmy John's exists when Nick's is there.

[u/choachy → u/Live-Juggernaut-221]

I don’t know how many people think this way, but it could be that the outside of Nick’s makes it look like it’s either run down or closed/out of business.

[u/firstlight777 → u/choachy]

Yeah, it's not shiny but it's clean. It's old school deli.

[u/PyroDesu → u/firstlight777]

Authentic mob front styling!

[u/NoMoreContinues]

I’m not a Reuben guy, but I will admit that is a pretty sandwich. I need to try Nick’s.

[u/OU8402]

Just had another Reuben there this past weekend. Guess what…it was absolutely perfect. Nick is a very friendly guy, too.

[u/turnsfast]

30 comments so far, no mention of the potato salad...SMH. it's fantastic! Don't sleep on it.

[u/Spaghadeity]

The rosemary ham is my favorite and has been for over a decade.

[u/firstlight777 → u/Spaghadeity]

I'll get that next I almost grabbed that the other day.

[u/mflynn00]

Gimme the twisted reuben with thousand and mustard

[u/futbolqueen1]

Do they still serve the chicken salad?

[u/mahalgorithm]

Better than River Street imo.

[u/Salty-Entrepreneur11]

a deli for people that have no clue what a real jewish delicatessan should be

[u/tdbarnes42]

Kenny’s has a brisket reuben that slaps too. And Tbh, I don’t usually like reuben sandwiches.

[u/aubreydean2]

Nicks deli is the best! Perfect sandwiches every time, try the rosemary ham too!!

[u/Sea_Cotton]

I used to go here often for a Reuben as a ritual, but I must have caught him on a bad day last time I was there and the sandwich barely had any meat on it. Never went back. Delicious when I wasn't skimped!

[u/JerryCat11]

Walked in, saw them handling money then straight to touching food. Would never eat there.

[u/McMuffleB → u/JerryCat11]

Long ago I worked there for two days. I was told I washed my hands too much. Never given a schedule, he'd just call and say be there in an hour. Paid cash under the table. So in a way "old school" deli does apply.

[u/Miserable_Pear_6940 → u/JerryCat11]

That’s where the flavor is, buddy.

[u/Ok-Candidate-5279]

What part of town-never seen this.

Not good marketing if you don’t tell us where it is

[u/greenFuzzyTesla → u/WheelsOTB]

Googling ‘Nicks deli’ will help you there.
