Fresh Turkey is always juicy and really good at Pergola on 40th Between 5th and 6th. Get there early if you want a sandwich on a great onion baguette. They also have fresh hot sides daily. It’s about $6.00 for an entree and two sides, and a piece of bread. Portions are huge.

Not a place to sit and eat. More of a takeout place. Perfect for nice weather eating in bryant Park across the street. Its rarely very crowded. Prices CHEAP

Is Pergola a franchise? I don’t get it. Each Pergola is completely different and seems to be independently run. The one on 39th between 6th and Broadway is awful.

Its a little out of Midtown but the Bono deli on 28th btwn Mad & Lex roasts a fresh turkey everyday & makes a real nice sandwich…I can’t believe you include Lenny’s…not fresh roasted turkey & all their meats are of the boring boars head type..a totally overated lunch spot

Try the fresh turkey at Pranzo (50th between 6th & 7th). For $5.75 you get a huge sandwich on rolls they bake each morning. The key is to wait on the line for the brick oven sandwich and ask for it on a roll, otherwise the brick oven bread sandwich is about $7 or $8.

I second eatalot’s comment. These days i only get fresh ham from cuccina on 56th as it’s the lunch provider at work.

Once upon a time, my colleagues and I used to go to this deli on 6th between 46th and 47th, right next to mcdonalds. We used to ask eachother around lunch time “beast?”, which meant a trip to this deli to get either this beautifully rare fresh roasted whole Roast Beef or succulently fresh Roast Turkey sandwich. Your photos remind me exactly of that restaurant. I may have to check it out this place in hopes for some rare roastbeef as well.

Slightly off-topic but I’ll post here so someone may see it. Check out the last link on the Midtown Links (The “Don’t F with Bloggers” Edition) below. Props to the Z-Man!!! (He’s too modest.)
