There is really not too much difference between the Ben's delis. This is the first time I had eaten at the one on 38th Street in Manhattan. It is an attractive restaurant, although it is not typical of a deli, which to me has less atmosphere than this location (it is on the elegant side for a deli).
The menu is quite extensive--almost like a Greek diner. There are dozens of deli sandwiches--things like corned beef, pastrami, tongue, etc. There are pickles, pickled green tomatoes, and cole slaw on the table. But there are also salads and things we do not think of as typical deli fare.
The service was on the slow side, but I was there with seven other people, who did not all come at exactly the same time.
In short, a nice deli experience.

This place is great. The coffee is excellent, the food is delish, and the staff is super friendly. It's nice to find a coffee shop-sort that has a lot of food, and food that is actually good (unlike Starbucks). Especially good is the 3 salad combo that comes with bread. Only down side is that it is a little small and during lunch time can get a little crowded and pushy inside, but it's still worth it.

Eli's is famous for it's bread which is wonderful. Eli's Manhattan is a supermarket of gourmet edibles. There are prepared salads, soups, dips, sushi, meats, poultry, etc., with a huge section of cheese, another huge section of pickles, another for olives, meats,. The bakery is outstanding. It's fun to look, less fun to buy, since the prices are very high. I enjoy looking around and picking up a thing or two. There is also a new gelato stand out front!

This lovely French chocolatier is a fantastic place to spend your Valentine's Day. With everything decorated in pink, and chocolates and great food, what's not to love? I guess the prices are kind of steep, and the cakes look much better than they taste, but the rest of the food in the small cafe part of the store is surprisingly incredible. Sit down, feel French, and enjoy the day with your sweetheart.

Grace's Market has a comprehensive mix of gourmet food, a little more so than my personal neighborhood favorite, Agata & Valentina. They have a good variety in their fruits and vegetables department, and win points with me for seeming to always have pomelos (a cousin of the grapefruit) in stock. In addition, they try to cover all other areas of what you expect out of a gourmet store - cheeses, bakery, meats, seafood, and prepared foods are all there.
They also gets point for having that one or two unique product in each department, so the shopping experience here doesn't feel redundant compared to other neighborhood grocery shops.

Katagiri is a gem. It is a Japanese grocery store, carrying just about every Japanese food item you can think of, and many that you've never heard of. Don't be intimdated by the Japanese packaging (most of is imported from Japan)...just about every product has label in English that explains what it is and it's nutritional values. Fish days are Monday and Thursday, so go on those days for the freshest fish. They also sell delicious sushi and snacks if you want to pick up a quick nosh instead of fixing it yourself. The staff is helpful but will also let you walk the aisles for as long as you like. The Q32 bus stops right in front, or it's just a couple blocks up from the Lexington Avenue Subway stop.

Kelly & Ping never disappoints me with their authentic dishes. The interior is decorated with south Asian everyday items, and it has a very high ceiling with big fans with make you feel like you are actually in Taipei or in Bangkok street. The orders come out really fast and you can see the cooks cooking the food in front of you. Its a little pricey compare to the other Thai/Vietnamese places. This is my favorite noodle place in Soho.

Where else but at Lunettes Et Chocolat can you find chocolate, jewelry and glasses all under one roof? Oh, that's right, no where. Sip some rich Mexican hot chocolate before looking over some frames by Michael Kors or Paul Smith.
Lunettes Et Chocolat is a unique one of a kind store that perfectly personifies NYC's diversity.
