What to Order at Gruby’s New York Deli
Mid-Island · 3 bites we recommend — tasted in person, never sponsored.
Two brothers from the Bronx, butchers by trade, moved south in the eighties, couldn’t find a real deli, and opened this one in 1986. It shows on the menu — Arthur Avenue, the Bronx Bomber — and in the portions. Order accordingly; Matt’s Special is the one that won’t defeat you.
