New American

Delicatessen

SoHo, Manhattan, NY 📍 Maps

This is a high-energy, open-air corner spot where massive stainless steel garage doors roll up to merge the dining room directly with the sidewalk. The kitchen specializes in playful, elevated takes on childhood comfort foods, serving them to a fashionable crowd seated at polished white tables and leather banquettes. First-timers should grab a seat near the open facade during warmer months to fully take in the neighborhood's social energy.

★ The Legend
Cheeseburger Spring Rolls
These crispy wrappers are stuffed with seasoned ground Angus beef and melted American cheese, mimicking a classic fast-food burger in a crunchy shell. Regulars always order them to share as the ultimate table-starting junk food indulgence, dipping each piece into the accompanying house ketchup-mustard sauce.
◆ Fan Favorite
Classic Mac and Cheese
A decadent blend of American, cheddar, and Swiss cheeses baked individually in foil trays to guarantee a bubbling, golden-brown crust. Regulars bypass the fancier variations and order this purist version, often asking to add crispy bacon to the top for an extra layer of texture.
● Chef's Pick
Pan-Roasted Chicken Thigh Sandwich
Executive Chef Michael Ferraro's award-winning creation features juicy pan-roasted chicken thighs layered with a vibrant Cerignola olive pesto, sweet pepper aioli, and creamy burrata on toasted ciabatta. It is designed to be eaten hot and messy, so skip the knife and fork and hold it with both hands to keep the burrata from sliding out.
◇ Hidden Gem
Ovaltine Pudding Parfait
Most tables default to the standard chocolate cake, but regulars know to end their meal with this nostalgic glass jar layered with malted milk pudding, vanilla cream, and crunchy chocolate pearls. It delivers a perfect contrast of silky and crispy textures that tastes exactly like a frozen childhood memory.
✦ Off the Menu
Reuben Fritters
These off-menu golden spheres pack shredded corned beef, sauerkraut, and melted Swiss cheese into a crispy, deep-fried batter. Dip them heavily into the side of Thousand Island dressing to cut through the rich, savory filling.
Insider Tip

Ask to be seated in the back courtyard lounge, which features a dramatic glass ceiling that lets you dine under the stars while remaining completely insulated from the noisy front bar scene.
