Ray's Gourmet - New York City

Nastiest deli around rude Spanish speaking about customers but little did you know I understand every word. Your food is gross.

I like the guys that work here.But I do not like the sandwiches from the deli.

One if the most over priced deli's in the neighborhood.. $5.43 for a egg and cheese on a day old hard roll ! .. The employees just make up the prices , different prices on different days . A ripp off . Many other places in area much cheaper for basic things .

Bought one paper towel roll and charged me $7 for it. stay away everything is extremely overpriced. seriously this place is messed up.

Ray’s is the textbook definition of a true East Village bodega with insanely delicious sandwiches, a reliable selection of household items, a ton of heart. The folks who work there are friendly warm. If you order a sandwich a couple of times here, you better believe that they’ll remember you and just how you like it. It’s a small gesture that continuously makes you feel known, appreciated, and not just some stranger but an actual member of the neighborhood/community. I often go here after the gym on weeknights and order their phenomenal tuna-salad sandwich with lettuce, tomato, bacon mayonnaise on a roll. If I’m feeling feisty, I’ll add avocado. And let me tell you — the sandwich never misses. It’s always on point.Ray’s has also been great for picking up late-night beer if you suddenly realize you’re having people over and you have none, ice, mixers, and all kinds of other beverages including yerba mate. There are, of course, a wide selection of snacks, along with household cleaning products on-the-go personal hygiene/health items. I highly encourage fellow East Villagers to stop by and try their yummy sandwiches, as well as connect with the down-to-earth folks who work there. If you’re lucky, you might just see their adorable deli cat.
