Enjoy Overstuffed Sandwiches And Much More At Story and Photos by Melanie Kopacz

If your taste buds are craving a classic New York-style deli sandwich, loaded with fresh-carved meats and cheeses on freshbaked bread, oozing with flavor, then the New York Sandwich Company wants to be your go-to guys.

Nestled at the corner of South Shore Blvd. and Pierson Road, adjacent to Dunkin’ Donuts, the New York Sandwich Company is looking to fill a void in the area near the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. The restaurant’s goal is to tantalize the taste buds and satisfy the appetites of both the equestrian community and year-round residents with a sandwich shop reminiscent of midtown Manhattan.

“Our tag line is, ‘Yeah… We’re Those Guys!’ and the reason that is, we’re the guys you go to if you’re craving a milehigh, full-pound sandwich. You can do it. We’re known for our overstuffed, giant New York sandwiches,” said Daniel de Liege, CEO of Deli Brands International and owner of the New York Sandwich Company.

Tell them to “New York it” when or-

dering and get a full pound of meat on any deli sandwich for an additional $5.

There’s more than 50 sandwich varieties to choose from. From the Reuben family, there’s the traditional corned beef, pastrami or a combo of the two, as well as a turkey option. For a different take on the classic, try menu creator Chef Bob Tocci’s very own “World Famous Grouper Reuben.”

“It was created by Chef Bob at one of our restaurants 10 years ago. You’ll see it on other menus, but it was created by Chef Bob. It’s on marble rye, and it is a little slice of heaven,” de Liege said.

Tocci hails from New York where he grew up in the kitchen alongside his mother and grandmother. He’s a Florida State University alum and a classically trained chef. He has nearly 40 years of restaurant experience from operations to menu design, including working with national chains like Applebee’s, Shooters and East Side Mario’s.

“My favorite sandwich is pastrami on grilled marble rye with melted swiss and Thousand Island [dressing],” Tocci said. “My next favorite is the ‘Big Italian Deluxe’ with fresh mozzarella, capicola, mortadella, salami, ham, prosciutto, lettuce, tomato, onion, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.”

Large or small appetite, the New York Sandwich Company has someA huge menu greets customers as they walk in.

“New York It” — the one-pound corned beef sandwich costs an additional $5 over the regular order.
