The Picnic Basket - New York

Yani E.

This small shop is tucked away and extremely easy to miss between bustling avenues and other eateries in the area. This is a sandwich shop specializing in handheld that would be great taken with you on a picnic, hence the name. They have their own delivery service and offer very simple, but fresh and healthy, food.
I had the chimi chicken and baked sweet potato bites. The chicken was juicy and made only better with the sauce on the sturdy bread. The sandwich was also well filled and not lacking in flavor. The potato bites were surprisingly tasty and I found myself not missing a more unhealthy alternative.
The staff are incredibly kind and helpful whether in person or on the phone. There are some chairs for sitting in at the small storefront space, and it feels cozy. Overall, a good place to get a good sandwich in the bustling city.

They gave me what they wanted to give me and not what I asked for. I found a hair in the napkin-wrapped fork. I order crunchy tuna with the grand salad and I didnt get the crunchy tuna.

This small lunch spot has a really great menu and staff. Very quaint with great music playing and fresh sandwiches. I work close by and didn’t know this was here. I’ll be back soon. Thank you.

their pastrami panini hit the spot! good cheese and condiments and amount of pastrami to onion. maybe one nitpick would have been to include more pickled jalapeños inside. i think it also came with a sauce (which may or may not have been for the quinoa bowl?) but to be honest it wasn't really necessary.

Its definitely one of the best hotpress sandwiches I have tried. I got the chicken melt. The mozzarella and pesto combo was perfect! It’s a small hole in the wall store with almost no sitting space. So prepare to get the sandwich to-go

need a sandwich that won’t let you down in the rush of your lunch break? this place consistently gives the best chicken sandwich, there’s a ton of other ones to get but i’ve never strayed away from their hot pressed chicken melt. get a side of chili sauce for some spice 🌶️

I order from Picnic Basket all the time. Love love love the food. Always fresh, always tasty. When you order for a group and give names for each item they write the name on the bag of each one, often with a smiley face or a heart. And I love that they get their breads from local NYC vendors 🙂

The soups are amazing! Tomato is my favorite!!
1000 stars for Picnic Basket!!
