    Pretty good most of the time. Reasonable prices. Only a mite more than the chains and much better.

    Avoid the Cajun chicken sandwich. Horrible. Chinese/Asian spices and dripping - riddling - writhing in sauce. Inedible and fiery hot - and I mean hot done the wrong way entirely.

    Everything else I've tried here has been good.

    DO NOT GO HERE! I used to get fresh juice here or sometimes a bagel and thought it was ok. Your typical corner bodega. But after today's experience I will never return.

    Bought a box of cereal and found a bunch bugs in the box. Not even in the cereal bag, because then I would probably from the manufacturer, but this was clearly because this box of cereal has been sitting on the shelf for so long.

    When we went back to request a refund and notify the manager that she should probably remove the rest of boxes she completely denied that its their problem and it came like that. I find that very hard to believe. Picture is posted unless the owners have taken it down.

    Regardless there is nothing else that would keep me coming back to this place. Their prepared food looks like its been there for awhile and a lot of their salad toppings come from a can.

    Murray Hill is great. Whenever someone new starts in my office it's one of the first places we tell them about and it always becomes a regular spot. Their burger and fries is a fantastic bargain, and all of their sandwiches are great and stacked high. Depending on when you go there can be a long line but it 's worth waiting for. It's still a spot I regularly drop into and it's one of the best spots in the neighborhood.

    Like a bodega - but cleaner!

    I settled for my usual cold-cuts-counter order - a chicken salad sandwich on rye + tomatoes, onions and a nice, sharp cheddar. Simple ingredients that conspire, when united, to create harmony of symphonic proportions. But here, the sludgy salad was distinctly unsalted, and the cheddar was dull as a Dickensian epic. Not that I was expecting D&D or G&G or anything, but its whole schtick is supposed to be that it's a half-step above a bodega.

    Grocery oasis in the barrens of Murray Hill; we shopped here at least twice daily on our recent New York excursion.  All neighborhood markets strive to provide a wide variety of goods in a small space and the Murray Hill Market passes with flying colors.  The grocery section features fresh produce and bagels, normal and "gourmet" cookies, crackers, mac & cheese, ice cream, everything you need to satisfy your spontaneous culinary cravings.  A must for the local market, beer; great selection from Brooklyn Lager to Duvel at very reasonable prices (Duvel $4.50 a bottle!).  Barely any wine and no hard liquor but plenty of great beer.

    Groceries aside, the market whips up fresh sandwiches, panini, and salads on the spot.  Quality meats and fresh veggies on the cheap in my opinion (especially considering the neighborhood).  Also plenty of flowers available outside, I didn't inspect the quality or variety of these.  I don't expect corner store clerks to overflow with smiles and courtesy but they certainly were tolerant as I may have been drinking a little before a couple late-night stops in here and they were perfectly friendly.  If I lived near here I would definitely be in here all the time without a doubt.

    So today was day 2 of lunch at the Murray Hill Market.  And I have to say, the Pesto Chicken panini I had was pretty bad.  Bad enough to remove a star, in fact.   So why then am I NOT removing a star?

    Because I also discovered today that MHM carries Kronenbourg 1664, one of the few places in NYC that carry it.  Rock on.

    You live to see another day, MHM, but I've got my eye on you.

    Go to this place regularly.  I'm a fan of their breakfast & lunch, especially the salads.  I didn't give 5 stars because their pricing is sort of ad hoc and not consistent.

    The omelets here are so much cheaper then at the diner across the street, but why do they ALWAYS run out of potatoes by 9am! They don't even offer to replace it with anything or knock a little off the price. I need breakfast potatoes! Guess I just have to pony up and go to the diner... ugg. The Market is pretty and the grilled cheese and salad (no up charge for avocado!) are good, but they also make some of the worse grilled vegetable ever (why so slimy). Oh and $6 for a bottle of Cholula hot sauce, HA!, I'm not that desperate.

    They do the the best flower selection in the neighborhood.

    This place is incredible. Food it always great and you never have to wait for more than a few minutes, even if the line is to the door. Sandwich prices are very low compared to other places in the area and service is extremely efficient. My only gripe is they tend to get egg sandwich orders in the morning mixed up if it's busy. Otherwise, I highly recommend going here for breakfast and lunch.

    Though they can be a bit pricey, what isn't in Murray Hill?

    I got the guys in my firm to acquiesce (spelling word from 9th grade) to bringing back BEER FRIDAY.  BUT, I was much too lazy and my arms were more than slightly sore from my intense Bowflex workout last night to go pick up the beer myself.

    Long story short: I called, and they delivered.

    Best thing is, right when I was starting to get thirsty, the beer guy came with my 6 half-racks in a milk crate.  Yes!  Life is good on this beer friday.  I just didn't anticipate the fact that the Guiness would be gone in 10 minutes...

    A little pricey but they do have some international candy like Lion and Bounty bars (Bounty bars are basically Almond Joys without the Almonds).  Spacious area & they do have create your own salad here.

    A bit disorganized during lunchtime but still relatively quick, and the food is very good.

    Good variety (aka all the usual suspects), very clean looking, and reasonably priced.

    Not a bad place to stop and grab a sandwich on the run.

    You can get a sandwich exactly the way you want it!  For me a deli that can do that and have all the ingredients you want makes for a super deli!

    You can also do your grocery shopping there.  They got alot of cool drinks an drinks.  They got muffins, bagels, salads, high end snacks, coffees, etc...

    Everything that can be imagined they got it.

    A great deli close to our NY office.  They have a great menu of sandwiches, salads, etc...  It's a clean store with fast service even when you're standing shoulder to shoulder.

    I go here about daily when working on our NY office.
