Green Apple Gourmet

Absolutely loved this place and wish we had found it earlier on our trip. The thought of the breakfast sandwich that was made to order literally makes my mouth water every time I think about it. We went back later in the day to grab something for our bus ride home and the fruit on the salad bar was fresh and ripe. I haven't gotten Mango that good in this country ever.

We were planning to eat at Ellen's Stardust Diner but saw the line wrapped around the building and decided we were too hungry to wait. Kinda glad that happened! We walked around a few minutes and found Green Apple. We went in and looked around as they were busy but there was no line. We chose a panini sandwich from behind the counter. The Mexicano. It took a little longer then expected to get it, but they were busy and I think the guy just go overwhelmed. That being said, he was very friendly and apologized for the wait. We also got fruit from the salad/fruit bar. Decent drink selection also. Prices were average and well worth it. Check out was efficient and the ladies who rang up our order were both very friendly and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We went upstairs to eat and it was small but had plenty of seating. There were empty tables. Our food was delicious. The sandwich was a bit spicy for us, but that was on us. We read the description and saw that it would have some spice to it. The fruit was fresh and juicy. My only complaint would be the restroom. There was only one and there was a line for it. Apparently the employees have to use the same one because one employee was in there a while. I went in right after her and there was no toilet paper. Okay. But then I went to wash my hands and there was no soap! That concerned me a bit. I pray that they have a sink downstairs to wash their hands at. We would certainly go back again. It was a bit warm upstairs but they have seating out in Times Square too and we would like to sit there next time.

My wife and I were in Manhattan over the memorial day weekend. We didn't want to go out for dinner so I ordered from this place. Delivery was very quick and the food was nothing short of excellent. We ordered a 12 inch honey turkey sub, a tomato basil Italian wrap (which was fully stuffed), and a Reuben sandwich. It was all very good. The delivery guy was very polite as well. Total for three large sandwiches, delivery, and a 20% tip was $35.00. I didn't think that was a bad price at all.
