City Cafe – cafe

Midtown Manhattan at full tilt: a West 43rd Street delicatessen, restaurant and pizzeria that opens before dawn, runs a build-your-own salad bar, a brick-oven pizza counter and a steam table of hot entrees straight through the working day. Breakfast is eggs on a roll, omelette platters with home fries, buttermilk pancakes and jumbo bagels with lox spread. Lunch spreads across gourmet sandwiches, panini, quesadillas and burritos, plus grill plates like a pastrami reuben or a chicken gyro. Muffins, croissants, scones and danish are baked on the premises. Free delivery covers nearby blocks, and catering is billed as the house speciality.
